A crypto analyst prediction for Solana (SOL) has ignited optimism amid investors as the SOL price surged beyond $200 for the first time after November 2021. The analyst predicted a potential 70% rally as Solana recently defied a key sell signal. Hence, he indicated a bullish outlook before the next sell signal.

In a recent analysis shared on social media platform X, Ali Martinez, a crypto analyst, shared his analysis on Solana price trajectory. He highlighted the invalidation of the TD sell signal on Solana’s daily chart. This development, which signals a bullish outlook for SOL, saw the crypto piercing through the setup risk line at $198.
Moreover, Martinez drew parallels to a similar event last December when a comparable invalidation led to a remarkable 70% surge in <a href="https://coingape.com/solana-sol-dex-volume-hits-3-5b-high-amid-memecoin-explosion/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Solana</a> price. The analyst is now eyeing the potential for history to repeat itself, with SOL poised to embark on another upward trajectory. As SOL price extended beyond $200, Martinez’s analysis suggests that Solana could be poised for further gains amid countdown toward another sell signal.
This weekend, there was a surge in Solana network activity, surpassing Ethereum’s. The spike was driven by increased demand for Solana-based memecoins. On March 16, Solana’s total trading volume exceeded Ethereum’s, reaching $3.52 billion, marking a $1.1 billion difference, according to DefiLlama.
Notably, on March 14, investors rushed to a recently launched memecoin named <a href="https://coingape.com/binance-news-probe-into-bome-insider-trading/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Book of Meme (BOME)</a>. The crypto rapidly climbed from insignificance to a market capitalization of $1.45 billion within just 56 hours. Additionally, over the past month, Solana’s decentralized finance (DeFi) total value locked (TVL) surged by over 80%, as reported by DefiLlama.
The impressive growth has propelled Solana’s DeFi TVL to its highest point in the last two years, currently standing at $4.30 billion. Among the top five DeFi networks by TVL, Solana has witnessed the most significant expansion in the past month.
