Range: $177-$400, with most forecasts suggesting $185-$272 by August and $216-$367 by year-end.
Key Factors: Bullish signals from MACD crossover, EMA alignment, and a potential breakout above $200. The Firedancer upgrade (Q4 2025) and ETF speculation could push it toward $400 if bullish momentum holds. Support is at $160-$170; a drop below could test $145-$153.

2026: $196-$510, averaging ~$305-$355, driven by DeFi/NFT growth and institutional adoption.
2030: $590-$1,531, with optimistic forecasts reaching $2,000 if Solana maintains its edge over competitors like Ethereum. Bearish scenarios suggest $200-$500 if network issues persist.
Key Drivers: Scalability upgrades, ETF approvals, and competition with Ethereum Layer-2s. Risks include regulatory hurdles and network outages.
