Avalanche price has pulled back in the past few days as investors wait for the upcoming Fed decision. AVAX has also declined as buyers who benefited during January’s comeback start harvesting profits. It was trading at $20, which was a few points below the year-to-date high of $21.84. The coin has jumped by about 90% from the lowest point in 2022.

AVAX had a great January

Avalanche is a leading alternative to Ethereum. Some of its important features are that it is highly interoperable, has faster speeds, and has extremely low transaction costs. Avalanche has been used to build some popular apps in the ecosystem are Wonderland, AAVE, Benqi, Trade Joe, and GMX.

Avalanche has had a strong performance in 2023 as the amount of inflows in the ecosystem has jumped sharply. For example, Wonderland has seen its TVL jump by 8.45% in the past 30 days. Similarly, AAVE, Benqi, Trader Joe, and GMX have seen their assets jump by over 20% in the same period.

At the same time, the amount of fees in the ecosystem has been in an upward trend. The supply side fees in January peaked at $42.5 on January 1. In all, the fees collected in the ecosystem were better than in the previous month. They have risen by over 80% in the past 30 days.

The next key catalyst for the AVAX price will be the upcoming Fed decision. As we saw in September, crypto and stock prices surged ahead of the Fed decision. They then plunged when the Fed decided to continue with its hawkish tone.

Economists expect that the Fed will continue hiking interest rates when it concludes its meeting on Wednesday. They believe that the bank will hike by 0.50% for the second straight month. It will also warn that it will continue hiking rates in the coming months.

AVAX price forecast

The 4H chart shows that the Avalanche price has been in a strong bullish trend in the past few days. It rose to a high of $21.82, the highest level in months. The coin has formed an ascending channel shown in green.

It has also jumped above the 25-day and 50-day moving averages. Now, it seems like the bearish momentum is fading. Therefore, there is a likelihood that the coin will continue falling as sellers target the ey support at $18.

Solana Price Surges Beyond $100, Dethroning Ripple and BNB To Secure Fourth Place

Solana price performance in recent times has been remarkable, surpassing Ripple and Binance Coin to become the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. The SOL price breached the critical level of $100 for the first time since April 2022 over the weekend to imbue optimism among investors. However, the altcoin has corrected by 7%, suggesting that the market is overheated. At the time of writing, the ‘Ethereum killer’ was trading slightly lower at $111.60.

SOL Outlook

Solana price has made a significant recovery over the past few weeks, climbing above the psychological level of $100. The altcoin has been one of the best-performing assets this year, extending its year-to-date gains to more than 1,025%, with more gains recorded in the past month alone. However, even with such growth, analysts have noted that Solana has a bleak chance of topping its ATH of $260.

The reason behind this is the increase in supply relative to its value. In November 2021, when the Solana price hit its all-time high of $260, its total market capitalization was around $78 billion. Despite the value of the crypto asset being less than half of what it was at the top, its market cap is currently hovering near $50 billion.

This has been brought about by the increase in the Solana supply by more than 100 million SOL over the past two years. According to some analysts, for the altcoin to retest $260, its…

Solana price has noted significant gains over the past few weeks, climbing to its highest level since April 2022. The ‘Ethereum Killer’ almost topped the crucial level of $100 on Friday, before pulling back slightly. The asset’s recent surge has catapulted Solana’s total market cap to $39.6 billion, ranking 5^th after and above BNB and XRP, respectively. Solana has jumped by more than 22% in the past week and more than 80% in the month to date. At the time of writing, SOL price was trading 0.90% lower at $93.10.

Catalysts Behind SOL’s Rally

Solana price has been on a strong bull run over the past few days, rocketing to its highest level in 20 months as the network benefits from the substantial activity and strong interest in memecoins. The SOL token, the native digital asset of the high-performance blockchain platform Solana, has shown some serious strength over the past few weeks, outperforming all the altcoins in the market.

The recent surge in the Solana price has been linked to heightened on-chain activities on the Solana blockchain. Notably, the ongoing hype for the blockchain’s speedy transactions, cheap fees, and a lottery of meme coin issuances has buoyed SOL’s on-chain activity. Metrics have revealed that Solana has been the strongest draw among on-chain traders, with trading volumes and network fees outperforming Ethereum- the largest altcoin by market cap.

Solana price has jumped more than 8% over the past week, breaching the important level of $60. At the time of writing, Solana was trading 3% higher at $61.07. The asset’s total market cap has climbed to $25.9 billion over the past week, ranking it the 6^th largest cryptocurrency after XRP. The total volume of SOL traded over the last day has declined by 8%.

SOL’s Bullish Cues

Solana’s price has been among the best-performing cryptocurrencies this year amid continuous growth. The “Ethereum killer” has consistently impressed investors throughout the year on the back of a resurgence in bullishness, which saw SOL’s price climb more than 513% in the year to date. Institutional investors have also shared the bullish sentiment, making Solana their most preferred altcoin.

In the week ending November 24, Solana recorded inflows worth nearly $3.5 million, significantly more than the other altcoins’ inflows combined. The asset’s monthly inflows were higher at $40.2 million, lower than Ethereum’s $99.6 million inflows in the same period. Other altcoins, including Litecoin and Ethereum, noted significant outflows, making Solana nearly half of the home for DeFi. This implies that when it comes to institutions, Solana is currently the best-performing altcoin with the potential of a long-term rally much higher than other digital assets.

Notably, the Solana DeFi ecosystem accomplished a significant milestone earlier this week. Its Total Value Locked (TVL) hit a new yearly peak of over $655 million,…
