The daily active users on the Solana network surged to 3 million in September, and analysts believe that SOL will rise to the range of 160-180 USD in October

ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, Bitget Research's chief analyst Ryan Lee stated that given the current market sentiment, increased activity, and the ongoing development of the Solana ecosystem, along with significant partnerships, he expects the bullish sentiment for Solana in October to outweigh the bearish sentiment, potentially rising to a price range of $160 to $180.Lee noted that Solana's $110 support level has shown resilience during market downturns, including the liquidation event in early August. He also emphasized that Solana has consistently been at the forefront during the recovery phase of high market cap tokens. Additionally, meme coins within the Solana ecosystem have demonstrated strong growth and have been one of the strongest sectors during the rebound.According to on-chain data, the number of daily active addresses on Solana saw a significant increase in September. Zeta Markets founder Tristan Frizza mentioned that compared to less than 1 million in previous months, Solana's average daily user count now exceeds 3 million. This increase in activity may be driven by a collective interest in Solana as a whole, trends like meme coins, and the involvement of celebrities and creators such as Iggy Azalea, which have attracted retail interest in the ecosystem.

Bitfinex Report: With the slowdown in BTC spot market buying, it is expected to remain in a range-bound fluctuation in the short term

ChainCatcher news, Bitfinex released a report stating, "Despite the strong performance of Bitcoin, it has not yet broken through the key high of $65,200 from August 25. This is very important because if Bitcoin fails to break this level, it will confirm a pattern since the historical high of $73,666 set in March, where Bitcoin has not exceeded any previous highs and has formed new local bottoms, maintaining a downward trend. In other words, from a longer time frame perspective, Bitcoin has been in a downtrend since March.Additionally, despite the recent price increase being optimistic, the growth of Bitcoin's open interest has outpaced the increase in Bitcoin's price itself, indicating that last week's movement came more from the futures and perpetual markets rather than the spot market.Meanwhile, we have also seen some altcoins surge, with some well-known tokens rising over 100% since their lows in August and September. However, caution is warranted here, as the open interest in altcoins has also reached new highs, but the overall altcoin market has not seen corresponding price breakthroughs. The OTHERS index (which measures the performance of altcoins outside the top 10 by market cap) has continued to decline over the past month.As buying pressure in the Bitcoin spot market slows down, the incremental volume of spot accumulation has stabilized as prices reached $63,500, and we expect Bitcoin to remain in a range-bound fluctuation in the short term.Nevertheless, an important counterargument is that sustained ETF inflows could boost Bitcoin's price. Last week, the spot Bitcoin ETF recorded new inflows, increasing by $397.2 million. This suggests that if traditional financial markets like the S&P 500 continue to rise, Bitcoin still has the potential for further increases. If Bitcoin breaks through the key resistance level at the end of August, it could drive its price to new highs, especially with the end of the low liquidity period of summer. However, without sustained spot buying, Bitcoin is most likely to experience consolidation or a partial pullback."

10x Research: Bitcoin may experience a significant shift in the trading range of $60,000 to $70,000

ChainCatcher news, 10x Research stated in its market analysis that interpreting trends is particularly challenging during critical moments in the economy and financial markets, as old narratives are questioned and new ones gradually form. During this time, traders and investors must closely monitor market signals. It is crucial to recognize that before shifting attention to the next topic, the market often focuses on a mainstream narrative. Understanding this dynamic is essential for effectively following market transformations.After the sale of BTC from German addresses at the end of June, market concerns shifted to the upcoming payouts from Mt. Gox in early July. With the incident involving Trump and his subsequent choice of Bitcoin holder JD Vance as his vice-presidential pick, the narrative took a dramatic turn. As the odds of Trump’s election soared to 70%, the price of Bitcoin became closely tied to these political developments. However, President Biden's announcement on July 21 to withdraw from the 2025 presidential race abruptly halted this momentum.Following discussions about Bitcoin as a strategic reserve, Bitcoin once again broke through the $70,000 mark, raising high expectations for Trump’s speech at the Nashville Bitcoin conference. Unfortunately, the speech did not live up to the hype. When the U.S. government transferred $2 billion worth of Bitcoin, the upward momentum for Bitcoin came to an end. The trading range between $60,000 and $70,000 has remained stable, but a significant shift in this range is imminent.
