Solana [SOL] registered a sharp rebound this week, breaking out of a key resistance level and attracting strong participation across the board. This strong performance has garnered significant attention from traders and investors, resulting in a massive amount of SOL being moved into wallet addresses. Retailers’ participation in SOL skyrockets According to data from Glassnode, the Number of Addresses holding at least 0.1 SOL jumped to 11.04 million. This reflected the growing interest and confidence of retail investors and long-term holders in the asset, which is a bullish sign in the long run.

At press time, SOL traded near $180, having gained 3.5% over the past 24 hours. During the same period, participation from traders and investors has soared, leading to an 11% increase in Trading Volume.

Solana price action and upcoming levels According to AMBCrypto’s technical analysis, SOL appeared bullish and poised to continue its upward momentum at press time. As per the daily chart, the altcoin recently broke out of a key resistance level at $180 after consolidating near this level for the past four trading days.

Data from Spot Inflow/Outflow revealed that exchanges have witnessed an outflow of $13 million worth of SOL over the past 24 hours. This outflow following the breakout indicates potential accumulation and could create buying pressure, leading to a further upside rally.
