Solana Price Update: SOL Reclaims $137, EV2 Presale Heats Up, Crypto Recovers

Crypto is back, baby. Don’t necessarily long everything with 100x leverage – we’re not quite out of the woods yet – but it’s safe to say that the market is looking a little rosier – or rather much greener – than it was a day ago. Over the last 24 hours, SOL has been bouncing around a tightly contested range as traders debate whether this is a simple cooldown or the early stage of a fresh breakout. Whatever the case, it’s reclaimed $137 in this period, which is a promising start.

The Layer-1 token isn’t the only thing that’s been looking lively over the last 24 hours – so’s the EV2 token presale currently being hosted by Funtico, which is doing numbers. We’ll delve into that shortly, but let’s start by taking a closer look at SOL and the other crypto tokens currently moving up.

Why SOL Is Gaining Ground

After dropping earlier this week, SOL profit-taking and a stream of broader crypto liquidations introduced short-term uncertainty. Yet instead of collapsing under the weight of selling pressure, SOL’s price has held firm at key support and gradually pushed higher. This suggests an underlying confidence in the network’s fundamentals that’s diametrically opposed to the panic-driven selloffs seen in weaker assets.

At press time on November 18, SOL is trading at $137, around its intraday high. While short-term gains are driven by speculation rather than fundamentals, over a longer timeframe, it’s clear that there are key catalysts pushing SOL higher. The network consistently ranks among the most active chains in terms of transactions and developer engagement, while daily active addresses continue to increase.

But price charts still tell the story. With funding rates resetting and leverage flushed out, the market feels healthier. Traders are beginning to ask whether this consolidation is the base for another leg up. If crypto can be compared to a crowded highway, the last two days have witnessed a lane closure that caused a sudden slowdown. Now traffic is moving again – and SOL is back in the fast lane. The latest 30-day SOL price prediction sees the token returning to $148.

EV2 Presale: A Different Kind of Momentum Play

While Solana consolidates, a new narrative is emerging around high-conviction early-stage projects – and the EV2 presale is one such candidate breaking through the noise. EV2 positions itself not merely as another web3 game, but as an entry point into a full gaming ecosystem. Rather than forcing players to navigate wallets and chains before having fun, the project focuses on gameplay first, with blockchain quietly keeping things ticking over in the background.

EV2 blends AAA visuals with onchain asset ownership, and there are signs that this could be the release that truly puts web3 gaming on the map. Admittedly, there’s been no shortage of previous contenders that were also assigned the title of “Web3 Game Likeliest to Succeed” so there’s no guarantee that EV2 will be The One. Nevertheless, this time feels different. At the very least, it’s one to keep a close eye on as November grinds higher, offering a moon-shot that could deliver outsized returns if the Funtico developer team can nail it.

The Alts That Refuse to Go Down

There’s a sense of relief flooding through the crypto market now that most assets are starting to regain their losses over the last 24 hours. Top gainers include Qeller Network, which is up an impressive 143%, and TYCOON, up 88%. Other top performers include OOBIT which is up 27% in the last 24 hours.

While it’s too early to say whether November is going to finish strongly, the signs are promising so far. Don’t get too carried away, but don’t sit it out on the sidelines either – not when there are so many opportunities for double-digit gains to be had on the daily.
