Following several turbulent days, Solana (SOL) has emerged from a three-day downward trend, enhancing investors\u2019 optimistic outlook for its short-term trajectory. A crypto analyst has indicated that SOL could be poised to exceed $300 shortly if a crucial level is restored.<\/p>\n

Solana, the fifth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, has notably excelled over the past week, spurred by the token launch initiated by US President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n
Last Friday, President Trump unveiled his official memecoin, TRUMP, on the Solana network after months of rumors and fraudulent launches<\/a>. The debut ignited a three-day crypto market excitement that drove TRUMP to a historic peak (ATH) of $75 and a market cap of $15 billion.<\/p>\nIn the midst of the excitement, Solana surged 25% within 24 hours, reaching $270 before climbing another 9.5% to establish its new ATH of $295.83. Furthermore, Solana\u2019s Total Value Locked (TVL) exceeded its 2021 record of $10.02 billion, reaching $12.1 billion on Sunday, as per DeFiLlama data<\/a>.<\/p>\nAnalyst Rekt Capital highlighted that Solana needed to secure a weekly close above $250, potentially followed by a retest to validate its breakout from the re-accumulation zone. However, the subsequent launch of another Trump-related memecoin caused SOL\u2019s price to drop by 12%, concluding the week at $241.<\/p>\n
On Sunday afternoon, First Lady Melania Trump introduced her official memecoin, MELANIA, via social media. The token faced significant backlash from the community, leading to a 6.6% correction in the crypto market within hours, with Bitcoin briefly dropping below<\/a> $100,000.<\/p>\nIn spite of the correction, SOL remained above the breakout levels attained over the weekend, fluctuating within the $230 to $270 price range in the last three days, although it struggled to maintain a position above $260 during most of this time.<\/p>\n
SOL Gearing Up for a Leap to $300<\/h2>\n
On Wednesday, Solana\u2019s price experienced a 10% increase to $264 before retracting. Crypto analyst Jelle noted that the \u201cSOL hourly chart appears to be ready for another attempt at $300 this month.\u201d<\/p>\n
The analyst mentioned that the cryptocurrency had broken free from its three-day \u201cPost-trump shitcoin launch downtrend,\u201d while indicators such as moving averages had returned to a bullish stance. Furthermore, the post remarked that SOL\u2019s recent performance<\/a> was striving to reclaim the November highs.<\/p>\nSolana breaks free from a three-day downtrend.
