Solana Price Analysis: SOL/USD to spike to $20 level next

Solana is now the 5th biggest cryptocurrency by market capitalization after toppling Cardano to position 6. Counting down the gains of the altcoin since the start of the year brings us to 12246%. Thereby making Solana the most profitable crypto investment in 2021. The price is also up by 11% in the last 24 hours.

Solana price analysis on the hourly charts: Dropping market choppiness

The choppiness index has dropped from the 60 level to the 40 level on the 4-hour chart, suggesting that the market may move in a single direction. The bulls appear to be in command at this point. As a result, we reaffirm our bullish view that Solana’s price will rise in the coming sessions.

However, there is the presence of short red bars on the 4-hour MACD, which somewhat suggests chances of a retracement from the $227 level. Nonetheless, there is a huge possibility that the buyers are correcting lower in preparation for a rapid consolidation towards the all-time high.  If that is the case, we can buy on dips with a target of $248. However, if Solana continues its uninterrupted rally towards the all-time high, we expect price action to hit our final target of $258 in no time.

The Solana project is a proof-of-stake blockchain network built with a vision to revolutionize the current state of affairs. The growing team has been solving issues that have plagued other similar projects, especially scalability and throughput. Solana has already achieved its first milestone of building a blockchain network that can process over 710,000 transactions per second.

This week, we saw some bullish momentum as the price tested and broke above $227. There was a new high created at $231 before the price started consolidating. As a result, there was a short-term correction initiated from $231 to $218. It seems like the 5th wave has been completed at $218 and could be heading higher in the coming sessions.
