Analysis of Solana (SOL) Price Movement and Market Trends

The cryptocurrency market has been experiencing a downturn, with Solana (SOL) dipping below $140 and showing negative trends across the board. In the last 24 hours, SOL has dropped by 3%, and over the past week, it has seen a 10.6% decrease. Looking at the 14-day and monthly charts, SOL is down by 21.1% and 25.5% respectively.

One of the reasons for the market dip could be attributed to Bitcoin (BTC) miners capitulating and selling their holdings, coupled with a lack of new money entering the market. Despite the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) dropping its investigation into Ethereum (ETH), the impact on the larger market has been minimal.

CoinCodex predicts that SOL’s price will consolidate around $136 for the remainder of the month, with a potential to reclaim the $140 mark on July 7, 2024, and reach $150 by mid-July. Changelly also anticipates SOL to hit $142.36 by July 3.

Data from The Block shows a consistent increase in the number of active addresses on the Solana network over the past year, although the number of new addresses has declined since March 2024.

However, SOL’s positive movements may be contingent on the overall performance of the larger crypto market, particularly Bitcoin. As BTC remains the market leader, other assets like SOL tend to follow its trajectory. Without significant movement from BTC, SOL may struggle to make substantial gains in the near future.
