Solana Price Eyes $300 As PumpFun Founder Explains Why Ethereum Didn’t Take Off

The ongoing Solana price consolidation is likely going to end as it eyes a retest of the $300 psychological level. While Ethereum continues to trade around $3,300, SOL is looking primed for another leg up and has had a stellar performance throughout 2024 and 2025. PumpFun’s founder shared his insight into why SOL is strong while Ethereum continues to struggle.

PumpFun Founder Explains Why Solana Took Off and Ethereum Didn’t

Solana’s explosive rise in the crypto market has sparked debate over why Ethereum’s Layer 2 networks have struggled to achieve similar momentum. According to the founder of Pump. Fun, Solana’s success stems from a superior user experience, deep liquidity, and a native token that surged alongside adoption.

In contrast, Ethereum’s Layer 2 solutions remain fragmented, limiting their ability to capture sustained market attention. On-chain data highlights Solana’s dominance in decentralized exchanges, reflecting its high-speed transactions and cost efficiency. 

As Ethereum developers push scaling solutions, questions linger on whether they can replicate Solana’s breakout trajectory.

the reason Solana was able to reach exit velocity is because it had a better UX + sufficient liquidity + native asset that pumped alongside adoption can’t help but wonder how Eth L2s are supposed to compete if liquidity/attention keeps getting fragmented + a shit native asset

Solana Price Finds Key Support, Eyes $300 Retest Next 

Solana price shows signs of a bullish reversal after bouncing off key support levels. The cryptocurrency found support at the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) around $212.94, preventing further downside. 

Currently, the SOL price is trading at $230, aiming for a recovery that could lead to a retest of the $300 resistance level.  

A swing failure pattern has emerged due to excessive selling pressure. This pattern signals a potential reversal as buyers stepped in to defend support. The Solana price briefly dipped below the mid-range level, nearly $232, but it was reclaimed, indicating a bullish shift. If this momentum sustains, the Solana price forecast could rally toward the range high of $296.  

SOL held above the 50-day SMA, acting as key support.  The 200-day SMA near $181  remains a major safety net in case of further dips. Solana price is trading within a defined range, with the lower bound at $168 and the upper bound at  $296.  

The MACD indicator shows decreasing selling momentum, hinting at a possible bullish crossover. The  RSI stabilizes around 61.37, suggesting room for further upside without overbought conditions. 

If SOL reclaims the  $250 resistance, bulls could drive the price toward $280-$300  in the coming weeks. However, failure to hold above $232.51 might lead to another retest of lower support levels near $212 and $181.  

The Solana price bullish momentum remains intact, supported by strong fundamentals and technical indicators. If key resistance levels break, SOL could rally toward $300. Traders should monitor support zones for potential reversals.
