Is Solana crypto ripe for a possible huge price rally? Some market analysts believe it does, seeing that the crypto is moving in a favorable pattern.
Investors and traders are now paying attention to Solana after an impressive comeback, allowing the digital currency to once again hit a two-month high.
Solana Set For A Historic Price Rally
Several analysts predicted that Solana could gear up for an exponential price rally after the crypto successfully rebounded from a slump in August.
According to their computation, the cryptocurrency’s price could skyrocket by over 2,500%, saying that from its current price of slightly over $170, Solana is on track to reach the $4,500 level. It is a huge growth that excites crypto traders and enthusiasts alike.
The forecast was made after Solana clawed its way back to the $171 mark in the last 11 weeks, the highest it has attained since August 1. Traders argued that the digital currency’s impressive recovery indicated that its price could go up further, saying that it is gaining momentum, and a 25-fold price hike is possible.
Although some market observers agree that Solona’s price is moving on an upward trajectory, they are a bit pessimistic about the 2,500% surge, offering a much more conservative estimate for the hike.
According to CoinGecko, a price increase of $450 from the current $171 is more reasonable than massive growth being floated by other analysts.
Hey bud do you mean $450?

A Whale Took Advantage Of The Peak
Lookonchain reported that a whale took advantage of when Solana hit a high of $164 and sold a huge chunk of crypto. According to the smart money tracker, the prominent whale traded $3.86 million worth of digital currency or the equivalent of 22,726 SOL — a move considered to be typical of a whale who usually buys when the market is down and sells when the price hits its peak.
