SOL’s rally could be prompted by positive on-chain and derivatives data
SOL, the native coin of the Solana blockchain, added 11% to its value over the last seven days, making it one of the best performers in the top 10. The rally allowed SOL to top the $230 mark, with analysts now predicting new highs for the coin.
Data obtained from DeFiLlama revealed that Solana’s stablecoin market capitalization currently stands at $15.11 billion. This record comes as its stablecoin market cap has been steadily rising since mid-September.
In addition to that, Solana’s Total Value Locked rose from $10.78 billion on September 28 to now stand at $12.69 billion, nearing its record highs of $13.02 billion. The rising TVL suggests growing activity and interest within the Solana ecosystem, including memecoins, DeFi, and stablecoins. More users are depositing and utilizing assets within SOL-based protocols.
Finally, on the derivatives aspect, Solana’s OI-Weighted Funding Rate data shows that more traders are betting on SOL’s price rallying higher in the near to medium term. According to CoinGlass, the OI has flipped a positive rate on Saturday and reads 0.0052% on Monday. Historically, once the funding rates flip to positive, SOL’s price has rallied sharply.
The SOL/USD 4-hour chart is bullish and efficient after Solana found support around the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level at $193.52 late last month. Since then, it has added 18% to its value and now trades at $233 per coin.
The RSI of 58 shows that the bulls have regained control, with the MACD lines also above the neutral zone, suggesting a bullish bias. If the support level at $230 holds, SOL could rally higher and set a new all-time high above $295. However, the RSI has to stay above 50 for SOL to sustain an upward momentum in the near term.
On the flip side, if SOL faces a correction after its recent rally, it could drop towards the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $213.36. The support at $203 will likely hold in the near term.
