The price of Solana rose by 6% to $135 within the past day because of growing anticipation concerning Volatility Shares’ upcoming Solana futures ETFs. The boost in market activity has prompted a spike in trading volumes demonstrating fresh investor enthusiasm for the altcoin.
Solana Price Breaks Key Resistance Amid ETF Optimism
Price movements in the recent period resulted from Solana recovering strongly from its 50% decline beginning in November 2024. The breakout from a converging triangle pattern in Solana prices leads analysts to predict a possible price rally up to the $150-$180 level. The price may exceed $260 if current momentum persists for an extended period.
The open interest of Solana futures contracts has grown significantly to reach $2.7 billion, according to Popular crypto analyst Ali Martinez. The market level reached this point last in October 2024 which indicates an increase in trader participation. Solana’s potential is gaining stronger market analyst confidence due to the upcoming ETF launch which serves as a catalyst.
Market Reaction to Federal Reserve Decision Supports Rally
The Federal Reserve decided to maintain interest rates at 4.5% during its FOMC meeting on Tuesday while meeting market forecasts. Cryptocurrency markets reacted positively to the decision which resulted in Bitcoin and alternative coins experiencing increased momentum.
The steady interest rate environment is generating positive expectations for continued positive liquidity conditions that benefit risk assets including cryptocurrencies. Investors’ expectations for market recovery have driven Solana’s recent price increase.
Solana Futures ETFs Set to Launch, Driving Investor Interest
The Florida investment company Volatility Shares plans to introduce the United States’ first Solana futures ETFs. Trading under SOLZ and SOLT will enable both institutional and retail investors to access Solana futures exposure through these products.
SOLZ will track standard Solana futures, while SOLT will offer leveraged exposure, amplifying potential gains or losses. The introduction of these ETFs is seen as a crucial step toward a potential spot Solana ETF in the future, following the same path taken by Bitcoin ETFs before their approval.
