- Solana (SOL) reacts to BlackRock’s announcement to launch yield-bearing tokenized treasury funds on the network as market sentiment flips to the positive territory.
- Analysts have predicted that SOL could surge to $300 and subsequently move to $3,800 once Ethereum stages a bullish reversal.
Solana (SOL) is struggling to hold its position about the current support level of $125, as it records negative declines across all the notable trading sessions. According to our market data, SOL has fallen by 4% in the last 24 hours, 3% in the last seven days, 10% in the last 30 days, and 35.9% in the last 90 days.
Solana’s key market metrics, however, show positive readings with a Positive/Negative Sentiment Ratio currently around 32.87. Comparatively, this level far outshines the sentiment levels of Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Ripple(XRP). Solana’s Open Interest (OI) has also crossed the $5 billion mark, as mentioned in our previous news brief.
Based on our research, this reading coincides with the recent report that BlackRock is using Solana’s infrastructure for its yield-bearing tokenized treasury funds. The decision to settle on Solana is reported to stem from its fast transaction and low gas fees. According to the COO of Securitize, Michael Sonnenshein, the network makes “it easier and more convenient for funds like treasuries.”
We’re making them unboring. We are advancing and leapfrogging some of the quote-unquote deficiencies that money markets may have in their traditional formats.
For now, the 50-day Moving Average (MA) at $133.74 is reported to act as a crucial resistance level. Meanwhile, the Bollinger Bands are said to be tightening, indicating contracting volatility. Also, the current price pattern shows consolidation rather than a breakout. According to analysts, positive developments that are not supported by price and trading volume could be risky.
Analysts Join the Solana (SOL) Discussion
Analyst DonAlt believes that SOL has moved from “beloved” to “hated” after people on the chain lost their money to scams.
SOL went from beloved to hated quickly only because everyone on the chain lost all their money to scams.
Contrary to this stance, an analyst called “Zero” has predicted that the asset could stage a rebound to $1000. Also, analyst Ali Martinez estimates that SOL could surge to $225 or even $264 once it completes the formation of a rare bullish pattern.
In a recent analysis, CNF disclosed that Solana has the potential to stage a rebound to $300. However, this would follow ETH’s reversal to $5000. Ali Martinez believes that the $300 price point is a conservative estimate as the asset has shown the ability to rise as high as $3,800.
Market experts have argued that SOL’s future move could be largely fueled by an Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) approval. As we discussed earlier, JPMorgan analysts estimate that SOL ETF could attract between $3 to $6 billion in net assets within the first six months.
When applying these so-called “adoption rates” to SOL and XRP, we see SOL attracting roughly $3 billion–$6 billion in net assets and XRP gathering $4 billion–$8 billion in net new assets.
