Solana (SOL) continues its upward momentum, trading above $204 at the time of writing on Monday, having rallied more than 6% in the previous week. Rising on-chain activity, increasing institutional interest, and growing whale participation signal renewed confidence in the network’s long-term prospects. The technical outlook suggests a further rally, with SOL bulls poised to push the price toward the $230 target.
Solana’s on-chain activity supports a bullish view
DefiLlama data shows that Solana’s Total Value Locked (TVL) increased to $11.83 billion on Monday, up from $10.42 billion on October 11, and is nearing the record high of $13.22 reached on September 14. Rising TVL indicates growing activity and interest in SOL’s ecosystem, suggesting that more users are depositing or using assets on SOL-based protocols.
