Solana (SOL) price is firing on all cylinders, and technicals suggest that the rally is just beginning

Solana price could jump to $8,000 as the meme coin ecosystem hits a market cap of over $20 billion.

Solana price has jumped for three consecutive days this week, reaching a fresh all-time high at $260. It has soared by more than 3,000% from its lowest level in 2023. A closer look at the weekly chart shows that Solana price has been making a remarkable comeback after bottoming at $7.65 in 2023 as the FTX crisis was continuing. With the crisis now behind us, there is a chance that the coin is about to stage one of the top rallies in the crypto industries.

That’s because it has been forming a cup and handle pattern, which is a popular sign of a bullish continuation. This pattern is known like that because it has a close resemblance to a cup, which has a rounded bottom and a handle. In this case, the upper handle is at $260, which is about 3,000% above the lowest level in 2023. To do a good SOL price forecast, you need to measure the 3,000% distance from $260. If this happens, it means that the coin will surge to $8,000.

The challenge with the C&H pattern is that it usually takes a lot of time. For example, it has taken three years for the SOL price to complete the cup section of the pattern. At the same time, the coin has remained above the 50-week and 200-week moving averages, a sign that bulls are in control. Solana’s oscillators like the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Stochastic have continued rising in the past few months.

Additionally, Solana has moved above the ultimate resistance of the Murrey Math Lines, meaning that it has two more levels to climb: overshoot at $281 and extreme overshoot at $312. The upper handle of this pattern is about 21% above the current level. The bullish SOL price forecast will become invalidated if the coin drops below the weak, stop & reverse point at $218.

As we covered earlier this week, Solana price has been helped by a number of things, including a record futures open interest, a booming meme coin ecosystem, and spectacular volume in its DEX network.

Solana price has also benefited from the fact that traders are now able to trade it with leverage of up to 200x on some exchanges. This is a significant increase from the 50x leverage that was previously available. The higher leverage has allowed traders to make larger profits, which has in turn attracted more buyers to the market.

Finally, Solana price has also been supported by the strong fundamentals of the Solana blockchain. The network has been able to handle the increasing demand for its services without any major congestion or delays. This has shown that Solana is capable of scaling to meet the needs of a large and growing user base.
