Solana price holds near $200 despite latest dip: what’s bullish for SOL?

• Solana price hovered around $194 amid a 4.5% dip in the past 24 hours.
• However, holding near $200 amid potential bullish catalysts could be key to bulls’ advances.
• Exchange-traded funds, interest rates cut and treasury asset bets top list of bullish markers.

Solana (SOL) price dipped below the $200 mark on Wednesday as cryptocurrencies showed caution ahead of the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision.

However, despite the 3.7% slip in the past 24 hours, institutional interest remains high. The overall macroeconomic tailwinds are also aligning, and SOL’s price could explode alongside other cryptocurrencies.

What’s bullish for Solana?

Despite the lackluster performance in the past month, Solana’s fundamentals suggest substantial upside potential.

Multiple bullish drivers point to this optimistic outlook and could fuel gains in coming months.

For instance, the rollout of spot Solana ETFs is forecast to catalyze unprecedented institutional inflows. Bitwise’s and Grayscale’s products lead the charge, but more are queued for SEC sign-off.

Day one volumes have analysts saying that a democratized access to SOL for traditional investors via familiar brokerage platforms as a potential price booster.

The ETF fervor aside, anticipation around the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision is high. E

conomists have doubled down on a 25-basis-point reduction in the federal funds rate on Oct. 29, and anticipate a further rate cut in December. Analysts say these should be a catalyst for risk assets like cryptocurrencies.

Solana’s network activity adds to this outlook,including as seen in ecosystem revenue and decentralized exchange volumes. The SOL token is also attracting notable treasury bets.

Western Union, the world’s largest money transfer provider, building on Solana is a huge nod for the ecosystem.

Solana price today

Per CoinGecko, Solana’s price traded at lows of $194 in early Asian hours on Oct. 29.

This is after bulls failed to make a decisive breakout above the psychological $200 mark, a threshold that now acts as a key base for both bulls and bears.

With prices down 3.7% in the past 24 hours, SOL is looking at a scenario where negative movement could extend losses to the $180 mark.

On the flipside, gains could see bulls target $250 and then $300 in the short term.

From the technical point of view, SOL price is respecting the downtrend line formed from early October.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart is flatlining in the neutral area around 47.

However, while the Moving Average Convergence Divergence suggests buyers still have an upper hand, the histogram indicates bullish momentum is weakening.

The outlook suggests SOL’s price has a key immediate range of $180–$210 that could indicate next targets.
