Solana surges with a similar momentum seen by Bitcoin to shake off several losses it incurred in the market last week. Specifically, SOL lost momentarily to the $169 level a few hours this week before moving up above $180 within hours of trading. Solana changes hands at approximately $215, changing hands 15% in the last 24 hours and up about 27% from its weekly lows, according to CoinMarketCap.
On January 13, SOL’s price dropped over 11%, mirroring Bitcoin’s volatile movements, and briefly fell below the key $170 support level. However, the swift recovery signals renewed bullish momentum in the market.

With Bitcoin reclaiming $100,000 after dipping below $90,000 earlier this month, analysts are optimistic about the crypto market’s trajectory. SOL’s all-time high (ATH) of $263.83, achieved in November 2024 when Bitcoin first crossed $90,000, is back in focus.
If the bullish feeling continues, inflows of new capital could see SOL reach for a new ATH well beyond $300. This type of growth can be supported by growing investors’ appetites and high expectations of key regulatory and institutional changes by the upcoming Trump administration, considered crypto-friendly.
