Is Solana ETF coming soon?

REX Shares posted on its X account on Saturday that its REX-Osprey SOL and staking ETF is designed to track the performance of Solana while generating yield through onchain staking and will be launched soon.

Eric Balchunas, Senior ETF Analyst for Bloomberg, also posted on X on the same day that the 

Rex has just filed a letter with the US SEC, asking if comments have been resolved for their ‘40 Act Solana Staking ETF. 

Balchunas posted: “They’re no doubt trying to get it to mkt ahead of the spot ones.”

He also cited an email screenshot to confirm that REX Shares has addressed the SEC’s comments.

“So they are good to launch, it looks like. Wow,” Balchunas added.

Solana Price Forecast: SOL breakout of the descending trendline

Solana price broke out and closed above the descending trendline (drawn by connecting multiple highs since May 24) on Saturday and rallied to close above its 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $151.48 the next day. At the time of writing on Monday, it hovers around the 50-day EMA level at $151.48.

If SOL continues its upward trend, it could extend the rally toward its daily resistance level at $160. A successful close above this level could extend additional gains to retest its next daily resistance at $184.13.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart reads 52, above its neutral level of 50, indicating that bullish momentum is gaining traction. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) on the daily chart also displayed a bullish crossover on Saturday, providing a buy signal and indicating an upward trend.
