Solana (<a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/solana-price-index" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">SOL</a>) price is up on Nov. 6 as the market participants digest the implications of Republican President Donald Trump’s victory over Democrat US Vice President Kamala Harris.&nbsp;
Data from <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://subscription.cointelegraph.com/?_gl=1*7499wx*_ga*MTQ0MzQ0NzI4Ny4xNzE2MzY1NTA0*_ga_53R24TEEB1*MTcxNjM2NTUwNC4xLjEuMTcxNjM2Njg2MC4wLjAuMA.." rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">Cointelegraph Markets Pro</a> and <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/BTCUSD/?exchange=BINANCE" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">TradingView</a> showed Solana price trading at $186, up 13% over the last 24 hours.

The upward momentum aligns with a broader cryptocurrency market rally and strong fundamentals within the Solana ecosystem.
Let’s look at the factors driving SOL price up today.
<h2 id="strong-solana-hits-a-new-all-time-high-against-ether-strong">Solana hits a new all-time high against Ether</h2>
The ratio tracking the price strength of SOL against Ether (<a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/ethereum-price" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">ETH</a>) rose to its highest level ever, suggesting that investors may be rotating away from the world’s largest altcoin.&nbsp;
The SOL/ETH ratio rose above 0.071 during the early Asian trading session on Nov. 6, extending the year-to-date gains to more than 60%.&nbsp;
The SOL/ETH pair has increased by over 766% from 0.0082 on Jan. 1, 2023, to the current value of 0.071. This means that SOL’s value has increased by more than 7.5 times relative to ETH’s at the time.&nbsp;

Increasing the SOL/ETH pair suggests that Solana is outperforming Ether. At the time of publication, SOL trades 70% above its Jan. 1 opening, while Ether has surged a mere 11% in 2024.

</figure>
One of the main reasons why SOL has been outperforming ETH throughout 2024 is increased network growth as users turn to the Solana network because of its relatively <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/total-economic-activity-solana-all-time-high" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">lower gas fees</a> and <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/viral-squirrel-peanut-triggers-solana-memecoin-frenzy" rel="" target="_self" text="null" title="https://cointelegraph.com/news/viral-squirrel-peanut-triggers-solana-memecoin-frenzy">memecoins</a>.&nbsp;
<h2 id="strong-solana-tvl-jumps-by-650-million-strong">Solana TVL jumps by $650 million</h2>

For instance, Dogwifhat (<a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/dogwifhat-price-index" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">WIF</a>), the leading Solana memecoin by market capitalization, has rallied over 15% over a&nbsp; 24-hour timeframe. Similarly, Bonk (<a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/bonk-price-index" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">BONK</a>), Popcat (<a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/popcat-sol-price-index" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">POPCAT</a>) and Jupiter (<a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/jupiter-price-index" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">JUP</a>) have risen by 18%, 20% and 13%, respectively, over the past day, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

The increasing value and market activity of tokens within the Solana ecosystem reflect the overall investor sentiment toward the native token, explaining the ongoing rally in SOL price.
Crypto analyst <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://x.com/srigopal_hyd/status/1854063338445246939" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">Srigopal Bhattad</a> spotted Solana trading above a long-term descending trendline at $187, saying the breakout is a “bullish signal” for SOL.
<blockquote>
 “If SOL can maintain above $180 support, it may target the next resistance around $200–$220.”

Bhattad, however, cautioned his followers to watch for any pullbacks below the $180 level, as this could invalidate the bullish momentum.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, fellow analyst Amdtrades says SOL price has to overcome the resistance at $190 before recording new highs above $200.
