Solana (SOL) rebounded, breaking through the key resistance level of $80. Amidst the overall bullish trend in the cryptocurrency market due to improved macroeconomic conditions in the US, combined with active on-chain activity in the Solana ecosystem and increased meme coin trading, SOL recorded a higher rise than Bitcoin.

According to CoinMarketCap, a cryptocurrency market data aggregator, as of July 3 (local time), Solana was trading at $82.76, up 2.26% over 24 hours. During the same period, the total cryptocurrency market capitalization rose by 2.24%, and Bitcoin by 2.02%. Market analysis suggests that the easing of concerns about further interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve (Fed) due to weakening US employment figures, coupled with a net inflow of $221.7 million into US Bitcoin spot ETFs in just 10 trading days, stimulated risk asset preference.

The inherent growth of the Solana ecosystem also supported the price increase. In Q2, the volume of decentralized perpetual futures trading reached a record high of $147 billion, and the meme coin trading fever continued. Notably, the 'Top Influencer' token surged by 9,073%. Furthermore, expectations for increased institutional demand were formed as some companies, including Forward Industries, reportedly purchased over 500,000 SOL.

Technical trends also improved. Solana broke through the $80 level, which had acted as a strong resistance, creating a short-term upward structure. The 7-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) was 63.66, indicating strengthening upward momentum without entering the overbought zone. Although spot trading volume decreased by 50.14%, long positions in the perpetual futures market were profitable, suggesting that derivatives trading supported the upward trend.

In the short term, the key variable is whether Solana can maintain the $80-$83 range as support. If this range is held, further increases to the $86-$92 resistance zone are possible. The Alpenglow upgrade, scheduled for Q3 this year, is also considered a major catalyst for the ecosystem's growth. Conversely, if it falls below $80 again, bearish signals would strengthen, and there is a possibility of retesting the key Fibonacci support level of $73.
