Solana price hits 2023 peak in November
Solana price is in an uptrend that started in mid-October 2023. The altcoin’s price climbed steadily in the past month, hitting its 2023 peak of $68.21 on November 16, before commencing a correction.
At the time of writing, SOL price is $58.07, the altcoin is trending sideways close to the $60 psychological level. The breakthrough past $60 was key to SOL price rallying to a yearly high. SOL price is above its three long-term Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), 10, 50 and 200-day at $56.53, $43.25 and $29.51.
If SOL price sustains above the 10-day EMA, the altcoin is likely to continue its climb. A decline below the 10-day EMA could invalidate the bullish thesis for Solana.
