Solana market cap briefly hits $80 billion – What’s ahead for SOL?

• The Solana market cap saw an increase to the $80 billion range.
• SOL price has declined in the last 24 hours.

Solana [SOL] has experienced some recent positive price movements, and although the increases were slight, they impacted its market capitalization.

There has been a slight dip recently, but if the momentum picks up again, it could establish a new market cap range.

Solana crossed the $80 billion market cap range

Analysis of Solana’s market cap showed it started on 5th June at around $79 billion. This increase was due to the recent uptrend in SOL’s price.

By the end of trading, the market cap had crossed the $80 billion mark. This was the first time in weeks it entered the $80 billion range, with the previous instance being in May.

However, as of this writing, the market cap has dropped below the $80 billion range again, currently sitting around $79.2 billion. The decline is due to the decrease in SOL’s price over the last 24 hours.

Analysis of the chart showed that the trend was still above the short moving average (yellow line), which served as immediate support at around the $160 and $154 price levels.

Additionally, an analysis of Solana’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicates that it remains in a bull trend. As of this writing, the RSI is above 60, suggesting a continued bullish outlook.

This current level also implies that SOL still has the potential for further increases.
