Solana: A strong month for the altcoin – when to expect a jump to $500?

In March, the digital asset market witnessed a remarkable performance from various assets, with Solana (SOL) emerging as the standout performer, rising an impressive 40% and approaching a new all-time high. The main question on the minds of investors, however, is when will it break the crucial $500 level?

The previous record high of Solana from $259,97 reached in November 2021, now stands in the shadow of its current price of $185, experiencing a minor decline of less than 1% in the last 24 hours. Still, the convergence of technical indicators and its consistent uptrend in recent weeks suggests the potential for further upward momentum.

Despite being early in the year, 2024 proved to be a bullish period for the digital asset market, supported by a surge in Bitcoin to almost $74,000 and generally positive market sentiment. Attention now turns to the potential trajectory of various assets in the coming months.

Solana (SOL) has emerged as one of the most intriguing assets, boasting a 40% gain in March and potential for a jump towards the $500 mark. While that target may seem ambitious given its current valuation below $190, Solana has demonstrated resilience and momentum that could propel it to new highs.

Fueled by the fervor surrounding meme coins, Solana has seen a surge in volume on its decentralized exchange (DEX) this year, with nearly 6 million users contributing to its growth. The asset hit a record high on March 14, surpassing 7.86 million in volume, holding levels above $6 million since then – a remarkable turnaround from late December.

The ongoing meme coin craze shows no signs of abating and continues to inspire optimism for Solana, especially in anticipation of the Bitcoin halving. Some platforms, such as Changelly, even predicted a new all-time record for Solana before the event.

Changelly’s price prediction blog predicts, that Solana (SOL) will potentially break the $500 mark by the end of April, setting a target of $514 on April 19, with a slight increase to $516 by April 22, just two days after the halving event.

Although the asset currently faces the possibility, with a potential support level at $167, the upward momentum of correction and consolidation could pave the way for Solana to break its record again.
