After experiencing a market surge, SOL’s price has embarked on an upward trajectory, shaping a rising channel pattern. Notably, Solana achieved a remarkable <a href="https://coingape.com/markets/solana-price-prediction-as-recovery-hits-roadblock-at-48/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">breakthrough</a> of a pivotal resistance at $28.16, marking the first time since July.

Should the bulls muster their strength and conquer the resistance barrier at $42.50, the <a href="https://coingape.com/tag/solana-sol/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Solana price</a> might regain momentum and set its sights on the upper resistance level at $46.83. Maintaining a foothold at this level could pave the way for an attempt to reach the significant resistance at $50 later this month.
Encouragingly, the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) has consistently provided support for the price, indicating the potential for an upcoming bullish reversal.
However, a breach of the rising support trendline could lead to a loss of momentum, with the price potentially testing the support level at $38.77 in the near term. In the event of a trend reversal, further downward movement could take the price to a lower support level of $33.29 in the coming days.
<h3 id="performing-like-an-ethereum-killer">Performing Like An Ethereum Killer</h3>
Solana has been performing like a true Ethereum killer while gaining an edge over the largest altcoin.&nbsp; According to a recent report by Kaiko Research, the Solana (SOL) to Ethereum (ETH) ratio has exhibited a consistent rally since September. This rally has brought the ratio back to the levels it held before the crypto exchange FTX’s collapse in November 2022.

In this context, a rising SOL/ETH ratio signifies that SOL is outperforming ETH, whereas a declining SOL/ETH ratio indicates that SOL is underperforming in comparison to ETH. In its research report, Kaiko <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://research.kaiko.com/insights/solana-in-the-limelight" target="_blank">noted</a>:
<blockquote>
 “Since September, SOL has been the clear outperformer, with the ratio between the two jumping from 0.011 to nearly 0.025, breaking the ratio from just before FTX’s collapse.”
