 The Solana ecosystem has been a dominant subject since the fourth quarter of 2023. The narrative sprouted from the rivalry between Solana and Ethereum on transaction cost metrics.

 The competitive edge that the Solana ecosystem has over Ethereum is down to low transaction fees. With this, SOL continues to dominate major Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) chains for decentralized exchange (DEX) traders.

 Besides the SOL versus ETH narrative, another theme that has kept Solana in the headlines is its wealth of meme coins.

 Myro (MYRO), Bonk Inu (BONK), Dogwifhat (WIF) and Smog (SMOG) are among meme coin stars on Solana, making it impossible to ignore. This social dominance has provided tailwinds for the Solana price, with eyes now on the 2021 all-time high of $259.90. With these, the Solana ecosystem is now trending on DEX Screener.

 This points to a significant level of trading activity or price movement relative to other assets listed on the DEX.
 <h2 id="solana-price-outlook-as-sol-continues-to-shock-markets">Solana Price Outlook As SOL Continues To Shock Markets</h2>
 The Solana price is trading within the upper region of the market range measured from $8.73 to $259.90. If the bulls have their way, the Solana price could reclaim its peak, nearly 30% above current levels.
 Multiple technical indicators are leaning in favor of the upside, starting with the Relative Strength Index (RSI), which is ascending to show momentum is rising. The histogram bars of the Awesome Oscillator (AO) are also growing in volume as they flash green. This is a sign of a strong presence of the bulls in the SOL market.
 Additionally, the volume indicator is growing, which signifies the uptrend in the Solana price is becoming stronger. These add credence to the bullish thesis.
 In a highly bullish case, the Solana price could clear the $259.90 all-time high and record a higher peak at, potentially reaching the $300.00 psychological level.

 <h4>Converse Case</h4>
 On the other hand, if the bears recover the market, instigated by profit booking, the Solana price could drop. If the price breaks and closes below the 50% Fibonacci placeholder at $134.32, it would invalidate the bullish thesis.
 Meme coins remain a fundamental narrative in the Solana ecosystem. Among them is Smog, which has surged over 20% as investors gear up for its massive airdrop.

 Smog forayed into the cryptocurrency market through the Jupiter decentralized exchange (DEX). It promises the mother of all airdrop campaigns and builds atop the success of recent breakout launches on Solana such as Myro, Bonk, and Dogwifhat.

 With the goal to ignite sensational success with a supercharged airdrop campaign, Smog will grant token holders access to an expert crypto community. This group will help build the community support requisite for unlocking unstoppable virality within the meme coin space. This is with the promise and excitement of interactive sustained multi-airdrop campaigns that gamify the experience for the user.
 Some analysts say Smog is poised to benefit this year because of its dragon theme. The Chinese Lunar Year of the Dragon celebrations could draw in investors from the vibrant Asian crypto markets who want to leverage the lucky appeal of the season.
