According to him, Solana has shown “strength” in the current recovery of the digital asset market. The expert described the cryptocurrency as “still the best trade of this cycle.”

“I believe SOL could potentially return to ~$200 by the end of the month. This would be a full reversal on the monthly timeframe and a signal of readiness to reach ATH. Patience,” wrote Cheung.

The specialist noted that upcoming network upgrades pave the way for the much-anticipated Firedancer client, developed by Jump Crypto, aimed at enhancing blockchain performance.

Solana surged to $172, gaining 18.5% over the past week, according to CoinGecko. The cryptocurrency ranks fifth among digital assets by market capitalization, with a value of $77.3 billion.

Previously, CIO of Merkle Tree Capital, Ryan Macmillan, predicted Solana would rise to $400 by November 2024, driven by a wave of meme coins related to the U.S. election campaign.

Earlier, CoinGecko analysts recognized the Solana network as the fastest among major blockchains. On April 6, the average daily transactions per second reached a record 1504 amid a meme coin boom.
