Further, Solana has achieved a notable milestone by breaking through both long-term and short-term resistance lines, signifying a crucial turning point for the cryptocurrency.

Recently, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) “labelled Solana (SOL) as a security” along with 13 other cryptocurrencies.
