Background: Solana ($SOL) price has recently been under pressure, dropping to $153 on June 5, mainly due to large holders transferring 2.80 million tokens to exchanges. Analyst Cas Abbe discovered a hidden bullish fractal in the $SOL price chart, suggesting the price could reach $400 to $500 within this cycle. This fractal is similar to the price movement in Q3 2023, when $SOL experienced over a 5-fold increase.
Key Events: Solana network activity has significantly increased, with application revenue growing 22% quarter-over-quarter to $214 million. Decentralized exchange (DEX) trading volume rose 32% quarter-over-quarter, and real economic value grew 37%, all surpassing other Layer 1 networks. Analysts predict that once a breakout is confirmed, $SOL’s price could achieve a 2 to 3 times increase.
Potential Impact: Solana blockchain performed excellently in May 2025, outperforming competitors like Ethereum, demonstrating strong ecosystem development potential. Investors may focus on the technical patterns of $SOL’s price and network activity to capture potential investment opportunities.
