Solana started the week trading near a two-month high, as momentum remained marginally bullish, despite market consolidation. The global cryptocurrency market cap is currently trading 0.98% higher as of writing. Shiba inu also traded close to recent highs, despite declines on Monday.
Solana (SOL) remained near a two-month high to start the week, despite crypto markets beginning to consolidate recent gains.
SOL/USD hit an intraday high of $24.75 on Monday, which comes less than a day after falling to a bottom of $22.68.
This move means that the token remains close to this weekend’s high of $25.03, which was the strongest point for SOL since November 8.
From the chart, it appears as sentiment in solana is still somewhat bullish, which comes as the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) continued to track above a support point at 80.00.
As of writing, the index is tracking at 80.18, with solana trading at the $23.42 price point.
Should the index remain about 80.00 in the coming days, it is likely that SOL could once again move toward $25.00.
Like SOL, shiba inu (SHIB) bypassed today’s price consolidation, maintaining recent highs in the process.
Following a low of $0.00001009 on Sunday, SHIB/USD climbed to a peak of $0.00001099 earlier today.
Monday’s action has seen the meme coin continue to trade near the two-month high of $0.00001111, hit last Friday.
Like many cryptocurrencies last week, prices of shiba inu were mostly overbought in recent days, with the RSI falling from a ceiling at 80.00.
Currently, the index is tracking at 73.00, with a floor at the 70.00 mark a possible target for sellers.
However, bulls seem to be rejecting this proposition on Monday, with some eyeing a rally back above $0.00001100 instead.

On Jan. 15, 2023, onchain researchers discovered that funds stolen during the Harmony bridge attack had been moved. The suspected thieves, who are allegedly associated with the North Korean hacking syndicate Lazarus Group, moved 41,000 ethereum, worth $63.2 million at current exchange rates.
On June 23 of last year, the Harmony development team disclosed that $100 million in cryptocurrency funds had been stolen from the Horizon bridge. Reports indicated that the attacker had utilized a multi-signature wallet to gain control of the bridge. Onchain researcher Zachxbt discovered that funds related to the Horizon bridge loss began to move 206 days later, with 41,000 ETH (worth $63.2 million at current exchange rates) being transferred.
“North Korea’s Lazarus Group had a very busy weekend moving $63.5 million (approximately 41,000 ETH) from the Harmony bridge hack through Railgun before consolidating funds and depositing them on three different exchanges,” Zachxbt tweeted. The funds were reportedly deposited into OKEx, Huobi, and Binance. Zachxbt added that Huobi and Binance had frozen some of the ethereum sent to the exchanges.
Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao, commonly known as “CZ,” confirmed that the funds were indeed frozen. “We detected Harmony One hacker fund movement,” CZ wrote. “They previously tried to launder through Binance and we froze their accounts. This time they used Huobi. We assisted the Huobi team in freezing their accounts. Together, 124 BTC have been recovered,” the Binance executive added.
The blockchain intelligence firm Elliptic initially linked the funds to North Korea’s Lazarus Group. Lazarus Group is accused of carrying out numerous attacks against cryptocurrency projects in recent years. It is believed that the North Korean hacker collective was behind the $620 million Ronin bridge attack as well.
