Solana (SOL) is currently poised near a support level, suggesting a potential upward trajectory. The cryptocurrency has been through a bullish pattern over the past five months, demonstrating a consolidation phase that might be nearing its climax.

Recently, Solana bounced from the lower <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/is-solanas-big-rebound-around-the-corner-john-bollinger-thinks-so/">boundary of its pattern</a>, reflecting a notable increase in buying interest at this level. This movement is critical as it sets the stage for a potential rally toward the resistance mark of $153. 
Overcoming this resistance could be a important step for Solana, leading to increased market activity and possibly reaching previous high levels. 
In the last 24 hours, there has been a decrease in selling activity, as evidenced by data from DeFiLlama, which tracks net flow among decentralized finance platforms.

The net flow shifted from 9.58 million to -0.32 million, indicating a decline in selling pressure. This reduction may provide a more favorable environment for price increases. 
Further bolstering this sentiment is the growth in Solana’s Total Value Locked (TVL), which has been on an upward trend. This metric is often used to gauge the health and adoption of the underlying DeFi ecosystem.

 An increase in TVL suggests that more funds are being deposited into Solana-based protocols, signaling a strengthening of user confidence and network utility. 
Development activities on the Solana network have also seen a surge, pointing to ongoing improvements and innovations within the platform. 
 Historically, such spikes in development efforts have been precursors to significant price movements, offering a glimpse of potential future gains.

Social media metrics also support a bullish outlook, with a gradual increase in Solana-related discussions. This growing social buzz can lead to heightened trading volumes and influence price dynamics positively.

As all these factors align, the technical and on-chain indicators for Solana paint a promising picture. If Solana successfully breaches the $153 resistance, the market might witness further rallies, affirming the positive momentum building within its ecosystem.

Solana (SOL) has experienced substantial fluctuations over the past 30 days, displaying the kind of volatility that can challenge even seasoned investors. 
SOL began the month priced at $144 and, despite dramatic swings, closed around the same value. This stability in valuation belies the turbulent movements observed within the period.

In the latter half of July, SOL climbed significantly, peaking at over $190 by July 24, marking a 100-day high. This surge led many market analysts to predict an <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/experts-reveal-why-solana-etfs-might-never-happen-shocking-insights/">imminent bull run</a>. 
However, the optimism was short-lived as Solana followed a downturn mirroring Bitcoin’s negative trend, plunging by 40% to drop below $120 by August 5. The recovery was swift yet incomplete, as a subsequent decline brought it back under $145.

Looking ahead, Solana’s native token shows potential for significant growth. The cryptocurrency endured a tough phase in the 2022-2023 bear market, falling below $15, but it has shown resilience and recovery since late 2023.&nbsp; 
Current developments on the Solana blockchain, which in some aspects <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/is-ethereum-losing-its-edge-paypals-pyusd-finds-a-new-home-on-solana/">outperform Ethereum</a>, suggest a strong demand that could drive SOL to surpass previous highs, particularly in the anticipated 2024-2025 bull market.
