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 a 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.
