Why is Solana Price Skyrocketing Today?

In contrast to the earlier downturn, Solana is shining in the crypto market today with a staggering 10% price rally. Not only that, it is setting the trends for the rest of the cryptocurrencies, as clearly Ethereum, Bitcoin, and others are also attempting recovery, thanks to whale accumulation and new macro events updates, and more.

Solana Price Soars 10% Today, Surpasses $200 Mark

After a two-day resistance struggle ($200-$205), the Solana price has finally made a significant recovery today, surging 10% on charts. Not only is it carrying a nearly 15% gain on the week duration, showcasing its dominance when BTC, ETH, and others tumble.

At present, SOL price stands at $204.93 with $110.77 billion in market capitalization, representing a 10% surge in 24 hours alone. Additionally, its trading volume has surged to $9.52 billion, showcasing high investor confidence.

Altcoin Rotation, Institutional Demand, and More Fueling Solana Price Rally

Big players are moving in support of the SOL, including Pantera Capital, planning to raise $1.25 billion to create a public treasury firm called Solana Co. Additionally, Galaxy Digital, Jump Crypto, and others are on the same mission as well.

Reportedly, the existing Solana treasuries already hold $695 million  (~0.69% of total supply), enough to transition this asset from the retail crypto to an institutional one.

The SEC’s take on the spot Solana Spot ETF Filings is also under discussion. Top analysts like Bloomberg predict a 99% approval odds on the potential mid-October deadline, fueling the Solana price rally.

Notably, among these, a very prominent reason is the capital rotation. Crypto experts have noted liquidity moving from BTC to top altcoins like Ethereum, Solana, and others, influencing their upward performance.

The odds of altcoin season are pumping again since the Bitcoin dominance has decreased to 57.3. Additionally, the AltSeason index is rising, currently at 44, influencing investors’ decisions for assets like SOL and others.

Although in exchange they expect the U.S. to lower the tariff on automobiles, financial experts call it a favorable deal for markets.
