Solana Price Analysis: Key Insights and Updates

• Bullish momentum has been building up for Solana, amid a highly anticipated altseason before the end of 2025.

• The DeFi projects on Solana network have recorded significant growth in cash inflows, and on-chain activity.

The wider altcoin market, led by Solana (SOL), gradually gained bullish momentum in the past two weeks, as Bitcoin (BTC) price invalidated bearish sentiment after rebounding above $95k. Analysis on various on-chain metrics shows the crypto FOMO has crept back in the past week, as the trade wars weakens amid ongoing diplomatic negotiations.

Ethereum’s fear and greed index surged from 44 per to 61 percent in the past two days. The wider altcoin followed the top two digital assets in regards to the fear and greed index.

Solana Price Update and Midterm Targets 

After gaining over 14 percent in the past week, SOL price is about to record its third consecutive bullish week. Consequently, the large-cap altcoin, with a fully diluted valuation of about $92 billion and a 24-hour average trading volume of about $5 billion, has approached a crucial resistance level around $159.
