ETH

In the long term, the price of Solana could potentially rise to $500, whereas Ethereum may decline to approximately $1,000 due to its triple-top formation.

Currently, Solana's price is on an upward trajectory, surpassing the significant resistance level of $150, marking its fourth consecutive week of increases.

It has experienced a 61% increase since its low in April, and one analyst anticipates a robust recovery for Solana as Ethereum faces challenges in reaching the psychological threshold of $2,000.
Solana Price Chart Pattern Points to a Surge to $500
Technical chart patterns indicate a significant increase in Solana's price. In a recent post on X, Ali Martinez highlighted the formation of a 'textbook perfect cup and handle pattern' on the weekly chart.

This pattern serves as an important continuation signal that typically results in a substantial price surge, particularly when it surpasses the upper boundary of the cup.


The weekly chart presented below substantiates this assertion. It illustrates that the peak of the cup reached $260, marking its highest point in November 2021, which also represented the most significant swing of that month.

Nevertheless, it experienced a false breakout that elevated it to a year-to-date high of nearly $300. Currently, Solana's price is in the process of developing the handle portion of this pattern.
One method to determine the price target of an asset exhibiting a Cup and Handle (C&H) pattern is to assess its depth and then project that same distance from the upper edge of the cup.

In this instance, the upper edge is at $260, while the lower edge stands at $8.35, indicating a 96% difference.
By applying this target extrapolation from $260, the forecast for $SOL price could reach $510.

This projection suggests that the coin has the potential to increase by 240% from its current position. Such a significant movement would elevate Solana's diluted market capitalization to $302 billion, a valuation that is plausible during a robust bull market.

The price of $SOL is influenced by crucial factors that could greatly improve its long-term performance.

This year, the SEC might authorize a spot SOL ETF, which would likely generate significant interest from Wall Street investors.

Additionally, the total market capitalization of stablecoins within the Solana ecosystem has reached a historic high of $13 billion, indicating increased engagement from investors with its network.

Solana could also gain from the current rise in meme coins associated with its platform, resulting in increased activity on its decentralized exchange (DEX) platforms.
SOL May Flip Ethereum if the Prediction Works
The price of SOL is experiencing a significant increase while Ethereum continues to trade below $2,000.

Additionally, the weekly chart indicates that SOL has developed a triple-top formation at $4,080, remaining beneath the neckline of this pattern at $2,118, which is its lowest point since August of the previous year.


The price target for Solana, based on the triple top, is determined by calculating the distance from the peak to the neckline and applying that same measurement downward from the neckline.

In the case of Ethereum, this distance is approximately 48%, which sets the price target at $1,078.

A decline to that target would reduce Ethereum's market capitalization from the present $216 billion to $129 billion.

This shift would position Solana as a significantly larger cryptocurrency than Ethereum.

However, it is important to note that the price predictions for both Solana and Ethereum will require time to develop, as they are based on the weekly chart.
