Solana (SOL) has witnessed a remarkable spike in price, soaring by 17% within the span of just one week. Since the beginning of the year, this layer-one blockchain cryptocurrency has been performing exceptionally well. After finding support at the $150 level, SOL climbed past $170, settling at a higher level. Unfortunately, the latest price movement indicates a minor dip due to staking operations carried out by a prominent Binance wallet.
