Solana appears to be gaining strength as it gets close to launching the Bitwise Solana Staking ETF. Solana’s new ETF appears to be capturing the attention of institutional money. As a result of these events, it appears that SOL may be getting ready for another strong movement.

At press time, Solana is trading at $202.41, registering a 1.43% increase within the last 24 hours. The 24-hour trading volume of SOL has breached $14.62 billion, thereby boosting its total market capitalization to $111.38 billion. SOL ranks high among digital assets based on these metrics.

Solana Achieves Major ETF Milestone

Adding to the excitement, renowned crypto analyst Bitcoin Hopium shared that the Bitwise Solana Staking ETF launches on the New York Stock Exchange on the same day. This simply marks another milestone for SOL. Just like SOL’s initial listing on the derivatives exchange FTX’s derivatives exchange FTX US Derivatives Exchange, it may increase awareness of SOL among the overall capital market.

Solana Momentum Builds Before Breakout

At the same time, a market analyst, Ali Martinez, highlighted that SOL could potentially hit $210 in the short term before proceeding to the next important movement. Based on his analysis, the sentiment fueling the upcoming ETF listing may act as a catalyst that contributes to the next upward movement of SOL.

Although SOL has been getting increased institutional focus and on-chain activity, it is believed that it could be gearing up for another strong rally. The next few days will tell whether the ETF listing indeed helps spark SOL’s next big breakout.

Solana Shows Signs of Steady Recovery

SOL’s Relative Strength Index holds at 53.31. The Moving Average Ribbon shows positive indicators as the 20-day Simple Moving Average stands at $191.04 above the long-term averages. As long as SOL’s price holds above these levels, investors should look for a slow recovery.

The MACD line of 10.67 is slightly lower than the signal line of 11.40. The histogram shows a value of -0.72. The MACD is yet to complete a crossover. Momentum appears stable. This indicates that the next phase may see consolidation.
