SOL Price to hit $250
SOL price jumped 1% in the past 24 hours, with the price currently trading at $159.62. The 24-hour low and high are $158.83 and $162.92, respectively. However, the trading volume has decreased by 20% in the last 24 hours, indicating a lack of interest from traders at present.
Solana has an all-time high of $260.06 and analysts believe the price can hit new ATH this bull run. SOL price rallied to hit a high of $210 in March this year but the rally faded due to multiple factors including delay in Fed rate cuts. Traders will be eyeing $210 again before a further rally to $250.
