Solana Emerges as Focal Point for Crypto Traders Following Memecoin Surge

As the cryptocurrency market continues to evolve, Solana (SOL) has recently gained significant attention from investors and traders, particularly in the wake of a memecoin trading frenzy. The blockchain’s high throughput and low transaction costs have positioned it as a preferred platform for speculative activity, with its ecosystem seeing increased volume and developer activity. Analysts note that Solana’s technical advantages, combined with growing DeFi and NFT adoption, could signal a sustained shift in market dynamics beyond the current speculative wave.

In brief

• Solana records over $120M inflows from other blockchains.
• POPCAT, FARTCOIN, BONK, and WIF fuel speculative enthusiasm.
• SOL must break key resistances to confirm an uptrend.
• Investors are split between fundamental optimism and chart caution.

Solana absorbs 120 million dollars from other blockchains

Over the past thirty days, cross-chain bridges have seen more than 120 million dollars of liquidity flow into Solana, according to Debridge data. These funds come from several major blockchains, with Ethereum leading the way.

Specifically, 41.5 million comes from Ethereum, 37.3 million from Arbitrum, 16 million from Base, 14 million from BNB Chain, and 6.6 million from the Sonic network. This trend reversal is notable.

It should be noted that these figures come in a post-crisis context, where the network had seen $485 million of capital flee to Ethereum and BNB Chain, a direct consequence of the fiasco surrounding the LIBRA memecoin in Argentina.

Lucas Outumuro, head of research at IntoTheBlock, comments on this return of capital as “a significant recovery of confidence in the Solana ecosystem, especially after last month’s shock“.

This movement is also fueled by the rise of several native memecoins of the network, which rekindle speculative interest in the Solana ecosystem. Over the last seven days, several assets have stood out with notable performances :

• POPCAT : +79 %, rising star of the memecoin wave ;
• FARTCOIN : +51%, driven by a very active community ;
• BONK : +25%, benefiting from renewed visibility on social platforms;
• WIF (dogwifhat) : +21%, supported by growing volumes on Solana DEXes.

Crypto users are clearly seeking to capitalize on this speculative euphoria, which tends to revive interest around the blockchain. These dynamics, visible in both prices and trading volumes, confirm a return of activity on the network, still fragile but very real.

Technical signals still fragile despite liquidity inflow

Graphically, the situation of SOL remains mixed. Although the crypto has gained more than 17 % in the past week, it has not yet managed to surpass decisive thresholds to validate a trend reversal.

The price notably hits resistance around 140 dollars, strengthened by the 50-day exponential moving average. Furthermore, SOL will need to close above 147 dollars to confirm a lasting bullish reversal. For now, the configuration remains bearish on the daily scale.

Another element to watch is the presence of bearish divergences on the 4-hour charts. These technical signals, identified several times, have often preceded price corrections.

A key support zone lies between 115 and 108 dollars, where demand could provide a floor in case of pullback. It is worth noting that nearly 32 million SOL have been acquired around 130 dollars, about 5 % of the total supply, which confers some local stability at this level.

In this context, the contrast between positive fundamentals and cautious technical indicators calls for restraint. While adoption prospects and institutional interest suggest bullish potential for Solana, the graphical validation of a reversal remains to be confirmed. The crypto market thus seems to await an additional catalyst before truly reigniting the bullish momentum on SOL. A potential breakthrough of technical resistances could pave the way for a new appreciation phase, but for now, crypto investors remain watchful.
