Critical Barrier Preventing Solana’s $200 Ascent Despite Recent Spikes

Santiment recently took to its verified X handle to call followers’ attention to a crucial barrier hindering SOL’s price surge. Per the digital assets analytical platform, the stage appears set for Solana’s meteoric ascent, evidenced by price surges in recent weeks.

Meanwhile, Santiment noted that SOL has climbed 33% since July 4. “The Solana faithful have been rewarded for their patience as prices have broken out +33% since the 4^th of July,” Santiment’s post read in part. Explaining SOL’s ascent in the past few days, Santiment highlighted crowd doubt as the main price driver. Furthermore, the data analytical platform noted that doubt will only appreciate SOL’s price to a limited extent. “Until FOMO replaces the FUD, $200 SOL is very much reachable soon,” the analytical platform asserted.

For context, FOMO and FUD are two opposite scenarios in the crypto space. FOMO stands for Fear of Missing Out, while FUD stands for Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt. Per Santiment’s claims, FUD seems to be directing investors’ choices, implying that traders are still cautious about investing in Solana. On its part, FOMO implies token accumulation greed. Investors’ sentiment must tilt towards FOMO for SOL to escape its critical barrier, according to Santiment claims.

Solana’s Market Readings Despite Prevailing FUD

At the time of press, Solana is trading at about $170, following a 2.8% upswing from the previous day. In its 7-day-to-date data, SOL recorded a 21.9% upswing with minimum and maximum prices ranging between $138.78 and $171.20.

Aside from its marked surge in its 7-day variable, other specific period statistics also revealed impressive spikes. In Solana’s 14-day-to-date and month-to-date indices, the token surged by roughly 26.1% and 24.6%, respectively.

Solana is currently 34.6% below its approximately $260 peak price. Additionally, the decentralized protocol’s 24-hour trading volume surged by 42.13% to hit $3.3 billion. Solana remains the fifth most valuable asset, with a market cap of about $78.6 billion. Notably, SOL’s current valuation implies that the token is roughly $9 billion from equalling the Binance Coin (BNB) market cap.

SOL Breaks Out in the Short-Term

Hopping on to Solana’s technical analysis, the decentralized token broke out with no visible resistance in the short term. If the bull continues to outweigh the bear, $200 could be on the horizon. Hence, it becomes safe to assert that SOL could be attempting to revisit its all-time high (ATH) in no distant time.

Conversely, if the prevailing situation fails to persist, SOL could find itself crashing towards support at either $159.44 or $155.64. Meanwhile, a more declining market state implies that potent support at $134.60 could become crucial.
