 <p class="paragraph">Although Solana (SOL) has dropped below the crucial $150 support level, the decentralized finance (DeFi) project is witnessing bullish sentiment in the short term.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Indeed, the $150 position has been viewed as crucial to help the cryptocurrency attain a new all-time high. Notably, despite benefiting from the overall market trajectory, Solana remains among the standout cryptocurrencies of the recent rally, having gained interest amid the surge in blockchain projects, particularly meme coins launched on the platform.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Additionally, the crypto has maintained a bullish sentiment despite network issues such as congestion, which have since been resolved.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">However, SOL’s short-term bullish momentum could be altered considering the recent transactions involving <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="whales" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/whales.html">whales</a>. Particularly, according to <em>Whale Alert’s </em>data shared on April 27, two substantial transfers took place within hours of each other, involving a total of over 22 million SOL tokens amounting to over $3 <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="billion" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/billion.html">billion</a>.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">The first transaction involved 11 million SOL tokens, valued at approximately $1.53 <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="billion" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/billion.html">billion</a>, being moved from an undisclosed wallet to another unknown wallet. The second transfer involved 11.1 million SOL tokens, <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="worth" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/worth.html">worth</a> approximately $1.55 <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="billion" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/billion.html">billion</a>, being transferred involving two unidentified wallets.&nbsp;</p>

 <p class="paragraph">The movement of such substantial sums within the Solana ecosystem inevitably prompts questions about the motives behind these transfers and their potential implications for SOL’s price trajectory. Whales often wield considerable influence over market dynamics, making their actions closely watched by traders and investors alike.</p>
 <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-sol-price-predictions">SOL price predictions</h2>
 <p class="paragraph">To determine the next trajectory of SOL’s price, Finbold consulted the price prediction platform <em>CoinCodex, </em>which utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) to offer insights. According to the forecasting tool, the coming months will potentially see SOL embark on a bullish trajectory.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">The tool projected that by May 27, SOL will likely trade at $162, representing a 14% increase from its current valuation. In the short term, the tool projected that SOL would likely trade in a consolidated pattern, suggesting that the token will likely be valued at $143.74 on May 1.</p>

 <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-sol-registers-institutional-interest-nbsp">SOL registers institutional interest&nbsp;</h2>
 <p class="paragraph">In addition to the potential volatility expected from whale transactions, Solana is poised to experience a shift in its price trajectory driven by various on-chain factors.&nbsp;</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Specifically, a survey conducted by<em> CoinShares</em> revealed that institutional investors have been exhibiting a strong preference for Solana. Indeed, the increasing interest from institutional players is likely to bolster investor confidence in the altcoin, potentially influencing its <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="price" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/price.html">price</a> trajectory.&nbsp;</p>

 <p class="paragraph">Certainly, the institutional interest could be interpreted as a vote of confidence, particularly considering the coin’s endured reputational setbacks due to sustained network outages.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Meanwhile, Solana was valued at $142.36 by press time, reflecting daily gains of nearly 3%.</p>
