Solana could be on track for a massive 323% rally this altcoin season, 
according to a new technical analysis by crypto strategist Quantum Ascend, who 
projects a potential peak around $830 based on market cap extensions and 
Elliott Wave structures. In a detailed July 22 breakdown, the analyst argues 
that most retail traders continue to overlook the impact of inflation and 
token supply dynamics—factors that significantly affect price projections. 
Solana To $1,000 Is Not Realistic Thus Cycle “Looking at the market cap chart, 
it’s up almost 216,000%, while the price chart is only up 18,000%. So what 
this tells us is, there&#8217;s some kind of inflationary pressure on the asset,” 
Quantum Ascend said. “You have to use the market cap chart in order to measure 
the price.” Using Elliott Wave Theory, the analyst identified Solana as 
currently operating within a macro third wave—arguably the strongest phase of 
a five-wave impulse sequence. According to his count, Solana completed its 
first and second macro waves during previous market cycles and is now 
accelerating through the early stages of wave three, a move that could 
culminate in a parabolic rally. Related Reading: Solana Near Last Major 
Resistance Amid 10% Surge – Analyst Says ‘Real Bull Run’ Is Close “Right now, 
what we&#8217;re working on is this macro wave three,” he explained. “The bear 
market will be macro four, and then we&#8217;ll have another wave at some point well 
into the future.” To support this thesis, Quantum Ascend pulled Fibonacci 
extensions from Solana’s historical price structures. He pointed to confluence 
between the 2.618 extension of the most recent accumulation range and the 
3.618 extension of a broader range, both of which intersect near a $300 
billion market cap. However, he views this zone as a mid-cycle checkpoint 
rather than a terminal target. His conservative scenario puts Solana at a $620 
price tag, representing a 217% move from current levels. But his primary 
projection suggests a 323% rally, translating to an $830 top based on market 
cap behavior and structural alignment. He cautioned that simply targeting 
round numbers like $1,000 can mislead traders, especially when inflation- 
adjusted market cap analysis tells a different story. “If I pull those same 
extensions here for Solana [on the price chart], because of the inflation, 
you&#8217;d be looking for $1,000, which is a nice round number and something that 
retail would love to hear,” he said. “But the market cap chart shows it&#8217;s 
topping that same extensions only at $830.” Related Reading: Solana (SOL) Set 
For Price Run To $2,700 — But This Condition Must Hold The discrepancy arises 
from Solana’s token inflation. As new tokens enter circulation, they dilute 
the impact of price movements. This is why, Quantum Ascend insists, market cap 
projections provide a more accurate view of potential upside. “There’s not 
enough people paying attention to market cap. You have to do it,” he 
emphasized. In his final breakdown, the analyst laid out both price zones. “We 
have $620 as our conservative, $830 as our primary here for Solana,” he 
concluded. While some viewers may find the upper bound modest compared to 
speculative retail targets, he stressed the importance of realism over hype. 
“We&#8217;re trying to make sure that we&#8217;re not buying into any crazy narratives or 
anything and we&#8217;re not leaving anything on the table and we&#8217;re not round 
tripping our bags.” At press time, SOL traded at $195. Featured image created
