Solana (SOL) could well be on track continues its remarkable run from 2023, based on a recent analysis of crypto analyst Ali Martinez. The analyst outlined a certain condition that could cause SOL to rise as high as $150 soon enough.
How Solana Could Soar to $150
Martinez noted in an X (formerly Twitter) after from which Solana escaped a bull flag which had developed on the 4-hour chart he shared. According to him, the crypto token could rise to the price range of $150 to $165 if there were a sustained close above $106. However, that hasn’t been the case as SOL has since fallen to a price level that is far from that.

Right now, SOL appears to be moving with the tide in the broader crypto market, which has been declining since the crisis approval of the Spot Bitcoin ETFs. This drop is believed to be due to the fact that Bitcoin was already priced in before the approval order came in. As such, traders may be looking for take profit of the flagship crypto token and altcoins like SOL that they may have invested in.

Despite this incident, the general outlook on SOL looks bullish as there is a possibility that the crypto token could hit its all-time high of $260 again this year. This seems more feasible given that the next bull run has occurred predicted will begin this year, possibly after the Bitcoin halving.
In the meantime, SOL’s investors might see the current dip as an opportunity to load up on more tokens, especially considering that the price is currently below the psychological price level of $100.
