Kraken’s prediction for the price of Solana ($SOL) looks optimistic, the popular exchange platform thinks it could see a 260% gain in value by the first quarter of 2022.
Kraken says that Solana’s price could rise up to 260%
Kraken explained that the price of Solana (SOL) has been in a broadening ascending wedge and appears to be in the early innings of its fourth wave of price discovery, in their November 2021 Market Recap & Outlook report.
Kraken stated in its report: “Should Solana continue to follow this pattern and re-enter price discovery mode, one could expect Solana to move north towards the about $600 resistance into the first quarter of 2022.”
Kraken has suggested that the decline in Solana’s price from its all-time high in November from around $260 to around $167 could be interpreted as a bullish sign for the cryptocurrency.
Also, the exchange platform says that: “Longer it takes for SOL to trend higher while also retaining the wedge’s uptrend line as support, potentially the higher SOL could travel before ultimately cooling off and entering into a downtrend.”
Kraken’s estimations say that Solana might potentially reach the $600 mark before it starts to move down.
CryptoCompare’s latest Asset Report suggests that the number of decentralized finance transactions on the Solana blockchain continued to grow, though at a slightly slower rate when compared to the previous months.
