Solana (SOL) Has a Bright Future, Says Ethereum’s Vitalik Buterin

Validated Media

Ethereum’s co-founder and popular crypto community member, Vitalik Buterin, has forecasted that the Solana blockchain still has a bright future. Mr Butern shared his insights into the future of Solana through a Tweet in which he also lauded the blockchain’s developer community for being sincere.

‘Some smart people tell me there is an earnest, smart developer community in Solana, and now that the awful opportunistic money people have been washed out, the chain has a bright future. Hard for me to tell from outside, but I hope the community gets its fair chance to thrive,’ Vitalik tweeted.

Solana Bounces From Thursday’s $8 Low Due to Vitalik’s Tweet

Mr Buterin posted the tweet early Thursday as Solana continued to dip below $10, hitting a local low of $8 for the day.

However, as soon as news broke of Vitalik’s tweet about the future of Solana, the digital asset pumped by 36% from $8 to a local peak value of $10.89. The one-hour chart below provides a visual cue of Thursday’s Solana’s price action.

Solana Needs to Reclaim $10 to Maintain a Bullish Argument

Source: Trading View

Zooming out to the one-day SOL/USDT chart below, it can be observed that Solana remains in bearish territory below the 50-day (red), 100-day (yellow) and 200-day (green) moving averages. The digital asset is trading at $9.11 and must reclaim the psychological $10 support level to maintain a bullish narrative.

From the chart, it can be observed that Solana’s daily MFI (green) and RSI (red) are in severely oversold territory, hinting that should buyer interest improve, SOL/USDT could experience a considerable bounce back above $10.

But the daily MACD confirms the ongoing bearish mood towards Solana. Therefore, despite the oversold MFI and RSI, Solana could keep spiralling toward the $7.14 and even $4.10 support. A worst-case scenario would be a fatal drop to the $3 macro support level.

  • Vessel Traffic in the Strait of Hormuz Reaches Highest Level Since Early March

    On April 6, foreign media reported that traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has risen to its highest level since the onset of the Middle East conflict, as more countries have reached security passage agreements with Iran. Over the weekend, a total of 21 vessels passed through the waterway, marking the highest two-day total since traffic began to decline in early March. Although the current number of vessels is still far below pre-war levels (approximately 135 vessels), more countries have obtained passage permits. A senior crude oil analyst at Singapore's Kpler stated, 'Iran is strengthening its control over Hormuz while responding to requests from its partners. Passage still depends on Iran's willingness, and the situation could change at any time if the conflict escalates.' So far, most of the vessels granted passage appear to be following the routes indicated by Tehran, navigating close to the Iranian coast. However, more vessels are also beginning to choose to travel along the opposite shore.

'Based on our own interests and considerations, we have organized and formulated a series of demands that we have presented in the past and present.' He also denied that engaging with mediators indicates weakness. 'The fact that Iran quickly and courageously expressed its position on a proposal should not be seen as a sign of submission to the enemy.' (Jinshi)
