Solana's Strong 2024 Performance and Price Outlook: What’s Next for SOL

Solana continues to make headlines with its remarkable performance in 2024. The token recently hit a new all-time high of $264.31 on Coinbase, reflecting an 18% gain over the past week and a stunning 160% rise year-to-date. At a market cap of $123B, SOL now commands roughly 4% of the total crypto market. Analysts are optimistic about its future, with price targets set at $400, fueled by strong development activity, ecosystem growth, and increasing interest in the potential approval of a Solana ETF. VanEck’s Head of Digital Asset Research, Matthew Sigel, predicts that a Solana ETF could be trading by the end of 2024, while Standard Chartered’s Geoffrey Kendrick sees a more favorable outcome under a possible Trump administration.
At the time of writing, SOL trades at $255.12, just below its recent all-time high. If buying pressure strengthens, the token could flip the $264.39 resistance into support, paving the way for a new peak. However, a resurgence in profit-taking might push the price down to $231.35, with further downside possible toward $213.53 if key support levels fail. While optimism around Solana's long-term potential remains high, short-term price movements will depend on market sentiment and broader crypto trends.
