The Solana price has been in red-hot form over the past week, making a play for a new all-time high this weekend. United States President-elect Donald Trump successfully launched the Official Trump (TRUMP) meme coin on the Solana network, triggering the latest bullish momentum for the SOL token.
This recent burst of positivity has now pushed Solana into an exciting price setup, which could see its value skyrocket over the next few months. According to a popular crypto analyst on social media platform X, the Solano price could be on its way to $4,700.
Is SOL Price Gearing For A Parabolic Move?
Prominent crypto pundit Ali Martinez took to the X platform to share an interesting update on the Solana price setup. According to the crypto trader, the price of SOL has just broken out of a bullish pattern, setting the stage for a parabolic move.
This bullish pattern is a cup and handle formation on the Solana monthly chart. As the name suggests, a cup and handle pattern is a technical analysis formation that looks like a cup with a handle. The cup typically is formed like the letter “u” while the handle is tilted a little downward.
The cup and handle pattern serves as a bullish indicator, suggesting that an upward trend is going to continue. To validate the bullish setup, though, the cryptocurrency’s price needs to close above the upper boundary of the handle.
As seen in the highlighted chart, the Solana price appears to have successfully breached the handle’s upper trendline around the $220 mark. A price target is calculated by measuring the length from the right cup lip (breakout point) to the cup’s bottom and adding it to the breakout level.
According to Martinez, SOL could travel as high as $4,700 if the altcoin’s price holds above the upper trendline. This potential move would represent a whopping 2,000% rally for Solana from its current price point.
Solana Price At A Glance
As of this writing, the price of SOL stands at around $262, reflecting a nearly 20% rally in the past 24 hours. Unsurprisingly, this price upswing has also impacted the coin’s action on broader timeframes, making it one of the best-performing large-cap assets in the past week.
According to data from CoinGecko, the value of the Solana token has climbed by almost 40% in the last seven days. With a market cap of roughly $128 billion, SOL ranks as the fifth-largest cryptocurrency in the digital asset sector.
