$SOL is trading around $175, with daily volume north of $8 billion. Price recently broke a key resistance near $176, triggering shakeouts of short positions classic bullish signal on a cup-and-handle formation. Developer activity is up too, with more than 53k new tokens launched just yesterday proof that the network is doing more than just hitching a ride on hype. Meanwhile I scooped up some $ES after its #bingx listing dip. The price had tumbled to about $0.20, spiked to $0.55, and now looks to be stabilizing around $0.28. Definitely early-stage volatility, which I actually like if there's substance behind it. The reason I pulled the trigger: ES is an Ethereum L2 built on Solana VM with Celestia data availability. That’s not your standard copy-paste L2, it’s an interesting tech combo in a scramble for attention. It helps that Solana itself is showing signs of strength today. On top of that, #Binance current top gainers list features coins like $ERA (up ~91%), $LDO (~11%), and $EPIC (~16%). Seeing healthy moves in protocol tokens tied to strong ecosystems reminds me of ES—it’s not just an isolated pump, but a tech-driven play that could find its moment once the narrative aligns. So yeah, ES hit a dip, but it's leaning on both Ethereum and Solana fundamentals. I’m in small, watching for more listings, integration news, or cross-chain traction to validate this early bet. Not financial advice, just a real-time trade journal from someone who looks for shots based on substance, not noise.
