Pseudonymous crypto analyst Inmortal said Solana’s price movement appears to resemble that of Ethereum before it experienced a significant surge from $400 to nearly $5,000 over a few months.
Based on Inmortal's chart, he suggests Solana could soon skyrocket back to all-time highs and beyond after breaching the resistance of $60, similar to ETH hitting $400 in late 2020 before its explosion to new highs.
