$SOL (Solana) is making headlines in May 2025 as it rebounds from April’s lows near $115 to currently trade around $146–$152, riding a wave of renewed institutional interest and bullish sentiment. The asset is now testing a critical resistance zone between $153 and $155, a level that has capped its upward momentum since February. A breakout above this range could open the door for a rally toward $175–$180, while failure to hold above $145 might see SOL revisiting support levels around $115.

Beyond price action, Solana’s fundamentals are strengthening. The network is seeing major upgrades this year, including the anticipated Firedancer validator client and a push to double block space, which could dramatically boost transaction throughput. Integration with Bitcoin-layer solutions is also underway, bringing Solana’s fast, low-cost transactions to the broader Bitcoin ecosystem and fueling growth in Solana’s DeFi sector.

With ETF approval odds rising and institutional adoption shifting from speculation to real-world use, Solana’s outlook remains robust. Watch for a decisive move at the $155 resistance-this could set the stage for Solana’s next big leg up
