Solana (SOL) Reaches 2-Month High, Driven by Growing Role in the DeFi Space

May 12, 2025 at 03:09 pm

SOL has surged to its highest price in two months, recently reaching $178.33. As of now, the token trades around $174.59, gaining 47% in the last month and 20% this past week. This strong performance is driven by Solana’s growing role in the DeFi (Decentralized Finance) space.

Solana (SOL) Reaches 2-Month High, Driven by Growing Role in the DeFi Space

Solana (SOL) has hit its highest price in two months as the token broke above the $178.33 resistance level. It recently reached a high of $178.33, and at the time of writing, trades around $174.59.

In the past month, the token has gained more than 47%, and in the past week alone, the gains are nearly 20%. This strong performance is driven by Solana’s growing role in the DeFi space.

As per DeFiLlama, Solana recorded $3.32 billion in daily DEX volume, capturing nearly 29% of the global DEX market. More than $165 million in assets also moved from other chains like Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Base into Solana in the past month.

Solana breaks key levels, technicals show strong buying pressure

From a technical view, Solana’s price has broken above its 200-day EMA and the 1.618 Fibonacci level at $167.39, showing a strong bullish trend. The chart also shows a “three white soldiers” pattern, suggesting continued buying momentum.

However, the MACD indicator is showing signs of slowing momentum, which traders should keep in mind as it may indicate a possible short-term pullback.

The overall crypto market is also showing strength. Easing US-China trade tensions and better risk sentiment have pushed the global crypto market cap to $3.33 trillion, helping coins like Solana attract more investors.

If Solana breaks and holds above $178.33, a rally toward $200 is possible. But if it falls below $167, a short-term dip may occur. Investors should stay alert and manage risks carefully.

Key price levels:

* 200-day EMA: $151.06

* 1.618 Fibonacci: $167.39

* Resistance levels: $178.33, $186.97

* Support levels: $167.39, $160.00
