Solana’s impressive 6% rise in Q3 was remarkable, especially compared to Ethereum's 23% loss. Even Bitcoin’s modest 1.55% growth paled in comparison to SOL’s consistent upward trend. 

In the past month, Solana gained 25%, outperforming both major cryptos. This rise in value highlights SOL's resilience amid a competitive market. Key market conditions further fueled this surge. 

BTC hit $65,000, and the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut triggered more risk-taking among investors. With growing fears surrounding the US dollar, attention shifted to cryptocurrencies, and Solana seized this moment.

October’s Bullish History and Resistance at $165

Historically, October has favored crypto markets, and SOL seems poised to ride the wave. Despite facing resistance at $163, increased trading volume and whale activity could push Solana toward $165 soon. 

Analysts believe the next test could send SOL skyrocketing, with short-term targets of $200. Additionally, market sentiment and technical indicators suggest that the price of Solana will likely experience a significant growth soon.

As Q4 continues to unfold, SOL’s long-term potential remains bright, with projections ranging from $350 to $500. Whether this bullish trend will continue remains to be seen, but the stage is set for a thrilling end to 2024.
