Solana Rises Over 18% In Last 7 Days as ETF Talks Fuel OptimismđĽđŻ
$SOL
Solana has gained strong upward momentum, trading around $130 in the last 24 hours. The token reached a new weekly high, outperforming many altcoins during the broader crypto market recovery. Growing speculation around the possible approval of a Solana Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) has fueled this bullish movement.
Investor attention turned sharply after Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart clarified that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has until October 10 to issue a final decision on the proposed Solana ETF. However, he also pointed out that early approval is still possible, though unlikely. Under the leadership of Paul Atkins and with input from Hester Peirce's Crypto Task Force, the SEC may fast-track decisions related to digital assets.
A Solana ETF could bring institutional capital into the ecosystem, similar to what happened with Bitcoin and Ethereum after their respective ETFs gained approval. Analysts believe that updated regulations, especially regarding asset custody and digital definitions, will be key in shaping the outcome. If progress continues, early approval remains a possibility, although most market watchers still expect a final decision closer to the October deadline.
Technical Analysis
On the chart, SOL has found support at a major demand zone around the $110â$115 range. The price is now trading above this area after reading below $100 at some point, marking an internal bearish break of structure. If the bullish momentum can sustain to trade and close above the recent lower high at around $147, that move would suggest a shift in trend.
If the price fails to maintain momentum and break above $147, bearish momentum will continue, with a potential retest of the support zone below $100.
