Why Solana Price Is Pumping

Solana price breakout above the 11-month-long resistance trendline on Tuesday after Bitcoin crossed the $30,000 psychological level after 10 months. This bullish breakout could be an early sign of trend reversal and the massive trading volume indicates positive sentiment among investors.

With continuous buying, the Solana price could rise 16% to hit $26.8 and $30.5 resistance levels. RSI has moved into the bullish region, indicating strong buying pressure in the market.

Solana Mobile Launch on April 13 is also a major catalyst for the SOL price jump. The community has been actively awaiting the Saga Web3 smartphone launch since its announcement last year.
