It is worth mentioning, though, that the Solana price somewhat struggled going into the weekend, which has seen the loss of the $230 mark. However, the latest on-chain data suggests the SOL token might only be taking a break, as it has yet to encounter the next major obstacle to its continuous ascent.
This on-chain verdict is based on the SOL UTXO Realized Price Distribution (URPD) metric, which measures the volume of a particular cryptocurrency that was bought at a specific price level. These price levels act as support and resistance levels for Solana, as they represent the cost basis of different investors.
It is worth mentioning that the strength of an on-chain support and resistance level typically depends on the number of investors who have their cost basis at the specific price level. According to Martinez, the next such level is around the $245 region, where more than 5.9 SOL tokens were acquired.
A run to $520 would represent an over 110% surge from the current price point. As of this writing, the Solana token is valued at around $228, reflecting a nearly 2% dip in the past 24 hours.
