The SOL/ETH currency pair traded within a tight range as liquidity woes challenge global markets, including crypto. With investors anticipating a series of interest rate cuts in the United States starting in September, Solana price may surge ahead of other cryptocurrencies, potentially reaching $200.

Solana price collected liquidity at $140 this week, paving the way for a reversal to $145 as the protocol’s <a href="https://coingape.com/glossary/defi-decentralized-finance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">decentralized finance</a> (DeFi) ecosystem made a comeback in the total value locked (TVL).&nbsp;According to <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://defillama.com/chain/Solana">DeFi Llama</a>, the value locked in smart in the protocol’s smart contracts has surged to $4.98 billion from the early August crash to $3.8 billion. An increase in this metric is often viewed as a bullish signal for reducing the potential selling pressure. Investors show confidence in the asset, committing their holdings to secure the protocol and earn rewards.

On the other hand,&nbsp;<a href="https://coingape.com/price/ethereum/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ETH price</a> quickly swung towards $2,700, but due to shrinking liquidity and a slow uptake of Ether ETFs, a correction occurred to $2,664.&nbsp;This sluggish movement in ETH price may soon be over if whales keep up their risk appetite for ETH. Based on <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://app.santiment.net/charts/ddn4vPBS__sCl">Santiment</a>, holders of between 1,000 and 10,000 ETH account for 35.13% of the total supply, up from 34.77% on August 1. Those addresses with between 10 million and 100 million ETH focused on the recent crash, increasing their holdings to 10% from 9.67% in the same period.

The SOL/USD currency pair sits above crucial support provided by the 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the lower end of the Bollinger bands. A rebound toward the indicators mid boundary is anticipated, which has a higher probability of boosting Solana price toward $160.
Meanwhile, a Bollinger Band Squeeze occurs when the upper and lower bands converge, indicating a period of low volatility. This can be likened to the current lack of liquidity. A breakout from either band after a squeeze often signals a significant price movement. Hence, with support at the 200-day EMA holding, traders can profit by entering long positions in SOL/ETH pair and anticipating a huge breakout to 0.062.

Per the <a href="https://coingape.com/price-predictions/solana-sol-price-prediction/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">SOL price prediction</a>, the outlook is bullish in the short term, but it would be safer to <a href="https://coingape.com/markets/solana-price-analysis-sol-struggles-under-150-whats-next/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">manage expectations</a>. A break below the 200-day EMA on the SOL/ETH pair could trigger another sell-off, with altcoins bearing the brunt.
