Solana (SOL) and XRP Gearing Up For A Mega Rally in 2024
Bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency market rallied with the Bitcoin ETF applicants submitting their final applications to the U.S. SEC on Monday, January 8. Some altcoins have witnessed strong bounceback, especially, the likes of Solana (SOL) XRP, avalanche (AVAX), and Cardano (ADA).
The Solana Price Rally
After hitting a high of $123 on Christmas last year, Solana (SOL) has been facing strong selling pressure since the beginning of 2024. As a result, the Solana price tanked under $90 earlier this week on Monday. However, the SOL price gave a strong bounceback of 12.98% at $102 with a market cap of $44.3 billion.
In a recent analysis, crypto analyst Ali Martinez highlighted intriguing developments in the price chart of Solana ($SOL). On the hourly chart, Martinez observed indications of a potential bull flag formation, a technical pattern often associated with bullish trends.
According to Martinez, a crucial factor for triggering a significant upward move in Solana’s price would be a decisive close above the $110 resistance level. If this level is surpassed, it could serve as a catalyst for the cryptocurrency, paving the way for a notable price surge.
In the event that the observed bull flag pattern holds, Martinez speculates an optimistic target for Solana at $163. This ambitious projection suggests a potential substantial gain for $SOL if the anticipated bullish momentum materializes.

The XRP Price Action
Ripple’s native cryptocurrency XRP has been trending downwards recently. At press time, XRP is trading 3% up at $0.57 with a market cap of $31.06 billion.
In a recent update, crypto analyst Ali Martinez brought attention to the weighted market sentiment for XRP ($XRP), highlighting that it has reached its lowest negative point since mid-May 2023.
For contrarian XRP investors who adopt a strategy of going against the prevailing sentiment, Martinez suggests that this development could signal an intriguing opportunity. However, investors should consider various factors and conduct thorough analysis before making any financial decisions based on sentiment indicators.

Furthermore, Ali Martinez suggests that the prevailing pattern influencing #XRP’s price movements since June 2022 seems to be an ascending parallel channel. If this trend persists, $XRP might potentially move towards the middle or upper boundaries of the channel, currently positioned at $0.80 and $1.10, respectively.
