\"Solana<\/p>\n

Solana’s SOL<\/a> has rallied more than 20% against Ether (ETH<\/a>) over the last seven days, and a trader is eyeing a potential breakout to $300, which would mark new all-time highs.<\/p>\n

SOL\/ETH ratio hits highest weekly close<\/h2>\n

The SOL\/ETH ratio, which reflects the value of Solana in Ether, rose to 0.080 on April 13, marking the highest weekly close ever, according to data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro<\/a> and Binance.<\/p>\n

The SOL\/ETH trading pair has been forming higher highs on the daily chart since April 4, suggesting an uptrend is underway.<\/p>\n

The SOL\/ETH pair gains follow a bullish week for Solana<\/a>, which has increased by 35% over the last seven days, against a 13% increase in ETH price over the same timeframe.<\/p>\n

 “The SOL\/ETH chart has just flashed a sign of strength,” said<\/a> pseudonymous trader Bitcoinsensus in an April 14 post on X, adding:<\/p>\n

“Solana has closed its highest weekly close against Ethereum in history, reflecting that we could see continued outperformance of the Solana Ecosystem.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Previously, the SOL\/ETH ratio reached as high as 0.093 in January during a rally in crypto prices<\/a> fueled by US President Donald Trump’s inauguration, which saw the price briefly notch a new all-time high<\/a> of $295.<\/p>\n

Can Solana price reach $300 in April?<\/h2>\n

Popular crypto trader BitBull shared<\/a> a CME futures chart on X that suggests SOL price could break out toward the $300 mark next.<\/p>\n

The trader cited Ether’s price consolidation around $2,000 on the CME chart before breaking out to all-time highs in 2021. <\/p>\n

“SOL is now showing a similar structure on the CME futures chart” as it trades with the $120 and $130 range, BitBull pointed out, adding that SOL could follow a similar breakout to all-time highs above $300.<\/p>\n

“Just like Ethereum’s run in 2021, Solana is setting up for a massive move in 2025.”<\/p>\n

Chart technicals aside, several onchain metrics suggest that SOL’s path to new all-time highs faces significant hurdles.<\/p>\n

For example, Solana’s network fees dropped more than 97% to $898,235 million on April 14, compared to $35.5 million on Jan. 20.<\/p>\n

The decline in Solana fees aligns with reduced trading activity on Raydium, Pump.fun, and Orca. At the same time, fees have stayed unchanged since mid-February on other decentralized applications, such as Jito, Moonshot.money, Meteora and Photon. <\/p>\n

Similarly, the daily DEX volumes on Solana plummeted to $2.17 billion on April 14, 93% below its Jan. 20 peak of $35.9 billion. <\/p>\n

Therefore, SOL’s journey toward new all-time highs will be a tough challenge unless there is a notable rise in network activity. <\/p>\n

SOL’s price is up 3% during the past 24 hours to $133 and 54.5% below its Jan. 19 all-time record. <\/p>\n
