Nevertheless, the main driver behind the surge in the Solana price is the multiple projects sprouting from its blockchain. Among them, Bonk Inu (BONK), Myro (MYRO), and Jupiter DEXe’s JUP token, with one user lauding Solana for showcasing and enabling “access to the best of the best.”

According to Santiment analysts, Solana is one of the few altcoins that have managed to outperform Bitcoin this week.

📈 #Solana is one of the few #altcoins outperforming #Bitcoin this week, surging back above $102. In the past 36 hours, $SOL / $BTC is +4.5%. The outage that concerned traders Monday ended up being a local bottom, with the #FUD fueling this price rebound. https://t.co/lUC0DBS5B3 pic.twitter.com/1NTk5R4QBj

Solana Price Outlook As

The Solana price is consolidating along an ascending trendline. This is part of a recovery rally after SOL slipped below the confines of an ascending parallel channel. With the Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) inclined north, this is the path with the least resistance.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is also above the 50 level, with both the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and Awesome Oscillator (AO) in positive territory. These add credence to the bullish thesis.

Increased buying pressure could see the Solana price extend the climb into the supply zone between $107.92 and $121.19. A decisive breach of its midline at $114.76 would confirm the continuation of the uptrend.

This could see the Solana price flip the supply zone into a bullish breaker, before tagging the $126.36 blockade.  In a highly bullish case, the Layer 1 (L1) token could extend the climb to $140.00 psychological level. Such a move would constitute a 40% climb above current levels.

On the flip side, increased seller momentum could see the Solana price lose support due to the ascending trendline. A decisive breakdown, confirmed by a close below $89.02 would invalidate the bullish thesis. This could see the Solana price roll over to the $68.03 support. Such a move would denote a 33% drop below current levels.

Meanwhile, new Solana-based meme coin Smog exploded onto the meme coin scene on Feb. 7 with a 1,288% pump on launch.
