Solana (SOL) is riding a positive tide that may see its price retest the $100 price level in the short term.
The Solana growth forecast was teased by two key veteran traders, Ali Martinez and Raoul Pal. Solana has picked up a good pace after it plunged to a low of $79 on Jan. 23.
As of press time, the coin is changing hands for $97.63, up 1.63% in 24 hours as trading volume recovers with a 53.45% jump to $2,316,858,925. The Solana market cap stands at $42,284,113,573.

For Martinez, if Solana can hold up above the $94 price mark, it has a chance of advancing toward the $113 price level. If this feat is attained, it will set a pace for SOL to retest its 1-year price high of $125.19.
Raoul Pal shared a sentiment similar to Ali Martinez’s but in a more cryptic manner. He posted a similar Solana chart that shows the coin breaking out of a descending parallel channel.
In his note, investors only need to “stick with the program,” adding that the sun also rises, a phrase denoting the propensity of Solana to soar to new heights.

The Positive Projection on Solana
Solana has been a relatively better performer when compared to the top-rated digital currencies in the market today.
Besides proponents like Raoul Pal, firms like VanEck have also projected a mega future for Solana. The asset manager is convinced Solana has what it takes to touch $3,211 by 2030.
Solana boasts several positive ecosystem developments. Besides the good traction the Solana Mobile venture is gaining, the protocol is also recording explosive growth in its Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and Non-Fungible Token (NFT) ecosystems.
