Popular altcoin leaps forward
While the growth in Solana is not a standalone event, the extra bounce in the coin indicates continued momentum, given that the coin has had a pretty good start to the year. With current growth spurts, Solana rallied as high as a 30-day high of $16.43. Thus, it is on its way to surpass the $17 resistance level.

The BONK effect should not be ignored either.
The growth in Solana is a result of the increase in addresses that buy and interact with the cryptocurrency. Specifically, we could argue that Solana’s embrace of this advanced ecosystem is linked to the recently popular meme coin Bonk (BONK). cryptocoin.com As we reported, Bonk recorded transactions in the past week, surpassing Ethereum.
