Solana

Sponge

The <a href="https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/SOLUSD">Solana price</a> has jumped by an impressive 11% in the past 24 hours, surging to $105.60 as the wider crypto market responds to <a href="https://cryptonews.com/news/spot-bitcoin-etfs-approved-heres-how-crypto-executives-reacted.htm">the SEC approving several Bitcoin ETFs yesterday</a>. 
SOL has now risen by 49% in the last 30 days and by a whopping 566% in the past year, making it one of the best-performing major tokens of 2023. 
Yet 2024 could be even better for SOL, which remains 58% down from its all-time high, and which continues to accumulate momentum in parallel with the growth of the Solana network.

 SOL’s chart and indicators are beginning to pick up again after a difficult start to week, which saw investors lose confidence that the SEC would approve Bitcoin ETFs. 
After dipping below 50 during the weekend, SOL is now touching 60 once again, signalling rising momentum that is likely to increase over the next few days. Source: TradingView 
Indeed, SOL’s 30-day average (yellow) continues to push well beyond its 200-day (blue), offering a sign that the alt remains in the middle of a strong growth phase. 
It’s also encouraging that SOL’s 24-hour trading volume has risen just beyond $4.6 billion, which is indicative of strong buying interest in the token.

However, as the tweet above makes clear, some large holders will use the current surge to take profits, so it may not all be plaining sailing from here on out. 
Still, SOL’s support level (green) has climbed steadily in the past few months, showing how any incoming dips are likely to be minor. 
And SOL has benefitted from considerable fund inflows in recent weeks, often surpassing ETH in terms of weekly volumes. 
Part of the reason for this is that Solana has grown and improved considerably as a blockchain in the past 12 months, enjoying continuous uptime (after a damaging 2022) and <a href="https://cryptonews.com/news/solana-nfts-eclipse-ethereum-in-trading-volume-amid-surge.htm">seeing growth in NFT volumes</a>. 
Solana has had 100% uptime for almost 10 months 
Here's the progress, status and risks of the network's stability:

It also beats Ethereum on several metrics, including <a href="https://twitter.com/StepDataInsight/status/1730255364728263065">active wallet addresses</a>. 
This all suggests that Solana will continue having a strong 2024, and with the market becoming more bullish, the Solana price is likely to move upwards as a result. 
It could even reach $200 in the next few months.

 While SOL continues to look strong, it’s usually advisable for most traders to keep a diversified portfolio, which will include smaller cap coins as well as larger tokens. 
And there’s quite a strong selection of new small-cap coins to choose from right now, including several <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/best-crypto-watch-2024-top-5-cryptocurrencies-high-calsona-f8pve/">bullish presale tokens</a> that have gained plenty of momentum as they prepare to list. 
One of the most popular right now is <a style="font-size: 16px;" href="https://cryptonews.com/visit/sponge">Sponge (SPONGE)</a>, an ERC-20 token that first listed in April 2023, <a style="font-size: 16px;" href="https://cryptonews.com/news/sponge-best-crypto-buy-today-new-meme-coin-spongebob-might-100x-1.htm">rallying by over 150%.</a> 
It’s about to launch a second version of its token, one which will not only replace the first version, but will also be used for a new play-to-earn game.
