Solana’s Outlook Bullish Post Phantom’s Fundraising Round

 

Solana was on rebound as the coin was seen trading above the $100 mark. At the time of writing, Solana was exchanging hands at $107.82. This token’s recovery came right after Phantom, Solana’s native wallet concluded a successful fundraising round. In recent times, as the cryptocurrency market experienced a major-sell off, Solana too hovered in the oversold zone.

The bulls have resurfaced and technical outlook reflected a positive change at the time of writing. Over the last 24 hours, SOL gained close to 17%. Over the last week, SOL was trading between $84.43 and $102.27 levels respectively. The recent bullish force propelled prices to finally trade over the resistance mark of $102.27.

 

Solana’s prices moved above the 20-SMA line, which meant that buyers drove the price momentum in the market. According to the technicals on the four-hour chart, indicators flashed buy signal for the coin. Trading volume of SOL also noted a major appreciation which was indicative of increased buying pressure in the market.

 

The Relative Strength Index was parked near the 80-mark, which meant that the coin was bordering overbought conditions. A slight push from the buyers could force RSI into the overbought and overvalued zone. The coin last hovered around the 80-mark, early in the month of December.

MACD displayed a bullish crossover at press time and displayed amplified green histograms. This reading pointed towards a buy signal for Solana. Continued buying pressure would push prices beyond the $107.82 mark to the next resistance mark at $131.58. Additional price ceiling for the coin stood at $156.43.

It is too early to say if the bulls would continue to hold their ground in the next trading sessions as the chart also had flashed a death cross in the past recent trading sessions. A death cross occurs when short term moving average is crossed over by the long term moving average.

 

In the above the chart 20-SMA (red) was below the 50-SMA line. A death cross is indicative of a potential sell-off. Incase of a sell-off SOL would be seen trading near the $84 price level.

 

How Has Phantom’s Fundraising Helped Solana

Phantom’s announced via a blogpost about raising $109M Series B funding round along with launching an iOS Phantom App. The Series B funding round was led by Paradigm. Previously, six months ago Phantom brought home $9M from Andreessen Horowitz after concluding its Series A. This Series B funding round has so far secured $1.2M already.

 

 

Solana also has plans of expanding by supporting Web3 on its blockchain and additionally introduce multi-chain features in the upcoming time. Phantom success has positively affected Solana’s investors.

Solana has had multiple network issues including outages and congestion faced in recent sessions. Solana had undergone a DDos attack four times in the last couple of months. With Phantom’s intervention, Solana’s investors might just gain some more confidence helping Solana grow.

48% of Ethereum Blocks Face Censorship From OFAC-Compliant Flashbots

Image
For a couple of years now, MEV-Boost relays or Flashbots have become popular tools in order to gather the maximum value that can be extracted from Ethereum’s block production. However, in recent times, Flashbots have been controversial as people believe the technology threatens Ethereum’s censorship-resistance. This is because Flashbots account for 48% of blocks that are compliant with government-enforced regulations. Nakamoto Coefficient or Government Coefficient? — Crypto Users Complain That OFAC-Compliant Flashbots Have Stained Ethereum’s Censorship-Resistance While Ethereum has been complimented for meeting the demands of environmentalists, critics believe the blockchain network made a trade-off by increasing validator centralization, and the probability of rising censorship for a so-called ‘greener’ blockchain. The day after The Merge , when Ethereum transitioned from a proof-of-work (PoW) network to a proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchain, PoW supporters criticized Ethereum over th
