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

According to cryptocurrency market data aggregator CoinMarketCap on July 3 (local time), Solana traded 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%. The market analyzed that the easing concerns about further interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve (Fed) due to slowing US employment figures, along with US Bitcoin spot ETFs recording a net inflow of $221.7 million in 10 trading days, stimulated risk asset preference.

The organic growth of the Solana ecosystem also supported the price increase. Decentralized perpetual futures trading volume reached a record high of $147 billion in Q2, and the meme coin trading frenzy continued. Notably, the 'Top Influencer' token surged by 9,073%. Additionally, 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 an overheated zone. Although spot trading volume decreased by 50.14%, derivative trading supported the uptrend as long positions in the perpetual futures market yielded profits.

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