Solana (SOL) rose by as much as 15% in today’s session, as bullish sentiment returned to cryptocurrency markets.

Following a low of $20.18 to start the week, SOL/USD rose to a peak of $23.20 on Tuesday.

Should solana bulls take the RSI beyond this point, then there is a good chance that price could move above $24.00.

Litecoin (LTC)

In addition to SOL, litecoin (LTC) was another notable gainer on Tuesday, as the token moved to a multi-week high.

LTC/USD jumped to a high of $96.89 earlier in today’s session, which comes after trading at a bottom of $92.37 on Monday.

Looking at the chart, prices briefly rose above a key resistance level of $95.50, however as the session has progressed, these gains have been lost.

At the time of writing, LTC is trading at $95.41, which remains 2.61% higher than Monday’s low.
