The Solana price edged up a fraction of a percent in the last 24 hours to trade at $116.24 as of 4.30 a.m. EST on trading volume that fell 4.5% to $2.4 billion.

Its weekly performance is far more impressive, surging from $101 seven days ago. That’s boosted its market cap to more than $50 billion, turning it into a challenger to BNB for the position of the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap.

There are several reasons for the surge, including the fact that Solana’s second smartphone has already accumulated 100,000 preorders. Apart from that, Solana also launched 13 new extensions to its ecosystem, which will be crucial for its NFT sector.

Solana Price Prognosis

While the Solana price price has seen an impressive surge in the past week, the coin reached a resistance when it climbed to $118 — one that it was unable to breach as of yet. Of course, this is still quite far from the coin’s ATH at around $260 which it reached in November 2021, but it is also the highest point that SOL has reached in over a year and a half now.

The big question is — where will it go from here?

While fundamental factors mentioned earlier were a big reason for SOL’s recent surge, there are also some technical indicators that suggest that Solana might yet go beyond the resistance that stopped its ascend yesterday. The coin started seeing another widening of Bollinger bands which tightened yesterday, suggesting that the bulls are once again taking over.

Similarly, SOL’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) score is improving, after sinking toward the oversold zone in the past few hours, it has now bounced back into the neutral zone, currently at the value of 55.80 and rising. Meanwhile, the token’s price is just under $117, suggesting that SOL has plenty of room to grow if the bulls can continue the charge.

The chart also suggests a clear flag pattern, and despite the recent pause in its surge, SOL still appears to have the bullish sentiment around it. This is why the coin is likely to return to the $118 mark once again in hours to come, and potentially go beyond it this time.

However, if the bears happen to take over again, Solana still has a strong support at $115, followed by the ones at $110 and $105 to help keep it from sinking too low.

Promising Alternative to Solana

There is a promising alternative for those who missed last week’s SOL pump. The token in question is called Scotty The Ai (SCOTTY), and it is an innovative AI crypto project that combines artificial intelligence with a deep understanding of blockchain technology.

The project is currently in the middle of a presale, but it already allows buyers to stake SCOTTY tokens and start earning rewards via staking straight away with an estimated return of 326% annually.

Analyst and YouTuber Michael Wruble, with 310k subscribers, says he’s invested in the project because it’s a unique combination of meme and AI with a powerful marketing push behind it. Scotty is presented as a jet-black Scottish Terrier who is a mysterious guardian of the crypto sector.
