While Bitcoin's trading pattern remains sideways and its market volatility has notably decreased in the past two weeks, we bring you a detailed review of the market situation for Solana (SOL) and Dogecoin (DOGE) as of Friday, December 22.
Solana (SOL)
The stabilization of Bitcoin in a sideways trend has acted as a catalyst for Solana's growth. This December, the asset has appreciated by 70%, reaching an annual high of $99.
Considering the increasing popularity of the Solana blockchain and the rise of tokens associated with this ecosystem, SOL's ongoing upward movement is seen as a primary scenario. Following the breach of the psychological $100 mark, the next target for buyers could be around $110. With the coin's historical high at $260, SOL retains the potential for further upward momentum.
No significant correction is anticipated for SOL shortly. Before experiencing more growth, SOL's price may dip to support levels around $79-$86, $73.18, and $61.80-$68.80, potentially offering a favorable buying opportunity in the spot market.

Dogecoin (DOGE)
Over the past two months, Dogecoin's price has increased by 100%, a relatively modest achievement compared to other altcoins, some of which have seen 300-400% growth. With the BTC chart maintaining an upward trend, DOGE also stands a chance for further rise.
To achieve this, the coin needs to break the resistance level of $0.097 and retest the seller zone between $0.102 and $0.107. If buyers can sustain above this range, DOGE might aim for a new local high near $0.115.
DOGE may also face a correction, especially if there's a downturn in Bitcoin's price. In such a scenario, DOGE could decline to the support zone of $0.0837-$0.0897 and test the buying strength at $0.0797.
