The Solana price has given a major breakout above its downward trendline thereby opening the gates for a rally to $205, and further beyond to new all-time highs.
Key Notes
Solana (SOL) price has surged over 4%, supported by global rate cuts and favorable liquidity conditions.VanEck credits Solana’s superior transaction processing capabilities, with the blockchain handling 3,000% more transactions per second than Ethereum.After months of consolidation, Solana broke above a long-standing downtrend line on September 26.Amid the broader market recovery and Bitcoin BTC $65 923 24h volatility: 1.9% Market cap: $1.30 T Vol. 24h: $37.26 B crossing $65,000, Ethereum Layer-1 competitor Solana SOL $157.9 24h volatility: 3.5% Market cap: $73.97 B Vol. 24h: $4.23 B price is also making silent moves gaining over 4% and trading close to $158 levels.
In addition to the broader market rally supporting the SOL price surge, it’s driven largely by the global rate cuts and the loosening liquidity conditions in the market. In its recent report, VanEck’s market research firm MarketVector noted that SOL can reach 50% of ETH’s market cap. This means that the SOL price can at least double from the current levels reaching over $320 levels.
VanEck puts some plausible explanations for this assumption citing Solana’s superior transaction speed and processing capabilities which could be the biggest catalyst behind its bullish outlook. As we know, the Solana blockchain can handle thousands of transactions per second (TPS), nearly 3000% more than that of Ethereum ETH $2 664 24h volatility: 1.3% Market cap: $320.54 B Vol. 24h: $16.50 B .

Solana’s daily active users surpass Ethereum by 1,300%, and its transaction fees are nearly 5 million percent lower. According to VanEck, this makes Solana highly attractive for high-volume transactions, particularly in sectors like payments and remittances where speed and cost-efficiency are critical.
On the other hand, Solana’s growing adoption in the DeFi space could be another crucial factor behind the SOL price rally moving ahead.
Solana Price Breaks Past Key Trendline, Interest to Boost Further Action
Throughout the month of September, the SOL price has oscillated in the accumulation area of $113 and $125, while defending these levels as strong support during the previous downturns.
As shown in the image below, this is the zone where the buyers stepped in to prevent further decline and put Solana into consolidation. The recent SOL price rally from this accumulation range shows a renewed buying interest fueled along with strong trading volumes.

The most notable aspect is the black downtrend line, which has served as resistance since Solana’s March peak near $205. On September 26, SOL broke above this line and has been sustaining its breakout momentum.
Another major catalyst is the central bank cutting down interest rates this month in September and pivoting towards monetary easing amid slowing inflationary conditions. Such monetary easing creates more favorable for risk-ON assets to proceed further. Lower interest rates decrease borrowing costs and boost liquidity, driving investors to pursue higher returns in riskier markets, which is currently benefiting Solana.
