The upcoming launch of the first spot Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) is set to open the door for additional crypto exchange-traded products, including a potential Solana-based ETF.
According to Eric Balchunas, a senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg, the introduction of these Ether ETFs will likely lead to more crypto ETFs based on Ether and SOL. Balchunas expressed this expectation in a July 15 X post.
Price analysis
A bullish triangle pattern is forming on Solana's chart, historically indicating a potential breakout and significant price movement.
Ali Martinez identified the $162-$164 resistance range as a crucial barrier for Solana. If SOL breaks through this range, the next target might be $175.
As of now, SOL is traded at around $169. The $163 support level is key in the next few days.
If it cannot sustain the resistance level, it could drop to as low as $141-143.
