SOL’s NFT sales volume increased by more than 26% in the last seven days. The number of NFT buyers and sellers also went up by more than 30% over the past week. Dappradar’s data revealed that GGSG, Ec.io, and SolPunks were the top 3 collections during the time period.

Solana’s price turns bullish

Amidst all this, investors were having a good time as SOL price increased recently. According to CoinMarketCap, SOL’s price surged by nearly 2% in the last 24 hours. At press time, it was trading at $16.27 with a market capitalization of over $6.5 billion.

However, the surge might not last long as the price uptick was accompanied by a decline in trading volume, which is a typical bearish signal.

Solana’s one-week price volatility suggested that the price uptick might end as the graph registered a decline. However, as per Coinglass, SOL’s open interest increased. An uptick in the metric generally means that the on-going price trend continues longer.

Additionally, SOL’s Binance funding rate was also high, reflecting its demand in the derivatives market.
