This week has started as a bullish week for crypto investors, following the panic crash across the crypto market over the weekend fuelled by USDT regulatory troubles, with Solana and Dogecoin grabbing the spotlight in the early days we are indeed in UPtober. Solana (SOL) saw an impressive upward move in its price, bouncing back after a brief dip over the weekend, while Dogecoin (DOGE) rallied following a series of fluctuations but has maintained its upward growth as well, sparked by Elon’s cryptic tweet a few times. Analysts had their eyes on these movements, with predictions ranging from conservative targets to ambitious highs. As October draws to a close, crypto traders are left wondering: will these two coins continue their upward trajectory, or are they in for another round of volatility?

From October 26th to October 28th, Solana (SOL) exhibited notable price movements. SOL opened at $164.76 on October 26, briefly hitting a high of $172.2 before closing at $170.71. The following day, SOL’s ascension continued, with an opening at $170.7 and closing at $176.55, marking a bullish trend. However, the SOL rally continued on October 28th, starting the day at $176.55 and closing stronger at $178.10. Over this three-day period, SOL fluctuated within a range of $164.76 to $178.10, indicating a dynamic response to shifts in market sentiment, trading volume, and a bullish trend for SOL.

Analysts remain optimistic about Solana’s near-term potential despite these fluctuations. According to InvestingHaven, SOL is predicted to experience a potential surge, with a price target of around $200 by the end of October. This bullish outlook is underpinned by increased on-chain activity and a strong technical foundation. However, experts caution that SOL must break through the resistance level between $170 and $180 to sustain its upward momentum; otherwise, it may face a temporary pullback. Over the medium term, market sentiment is particularly optimistic, with predictions varying widely, some reaching as high as $220 and even $750 if momentum continues .

Dogecoin (DOGE) similarly saw considerable price volatility over the same period. On October 26th, DOGE opened at $0.1310, briefly reached a high of $0.1378, and ultimately closed the day at $0.1373. The following day was marked by sustained growth momentum as DOGE opened at $0.1373 and closed at $0.1443. By October 28th, DOGE surged by 11%, opening at $0.1443 and closing higher at $0.1611. Throughout these three days, DOGE’s price ranged from $0.1310 to $0.1620, reflecting DOGE’s susceptibility to factors such as social media trends, and Elon’s cryptic tweets.
