Key Takeaways
  • Raydium’s RAY token has cooled off after an autumn price surge.
  • RAY supports the Raydium Automated Market Maker.
  • Our Raydium price prediction suggests RAY could fall to $1.75 next year

The Raydium Automated Market Maker (AMM) got the attention of many people in late October 2024 when its RAY token shot up more than 15% in one day following an upgrade . The interest continued into November, pushing RAY even higher and putting Raydium into the top five Solana decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols.

The surge peaked on Nov. 25, when the token hit $6.45, its best price in nearly three years. However, things came crashing down, and by Jan. 14, 2025, Raydium was worth about $4.95. This price was up from $4.77 24 hours earlier, thanks, at least in part, to the introduction of Solana perpetual future trading  on the platform.

Let’s examine our Raydium price predictions, made on Jan. 14, 2025. We will also examine Raydium’s price history and discuss what Raydium is and does.

Raydium Price Prediction 

Let’s look at the RAY price predictions made by CCN on Jan. 14. We will use the wave count method to make the predictions, adding and removing 20% from the final target to create the minimum and maximum targets.

Minimum RAY Price Prediction Average RAY Price Prediction Maximum RAY Price Prediction
2025 $1.75 $2.20 $2.65
2026 $2.20 $2.70 $3.20
2030 $1.80 $2.15 $2.60

 

The most likely wave count suggests that RAY started a five-wave upward movement in January 2023. If so, it is currently in this increase’s fifth and final wave.

If wave five has the same length as wave one, the price will reach a high of $8. This is close to the 0.5 Fibonacci and horizontal resistance area at $8.90.

Based on the length of the previous waves, RAY can reach a high in May 2025.

Afterward, RAY can begin an A-B-C corrective structure with the same length as the upward movement.

During these projected upward and downward movements, the wave count method gives targets of $2.20 and $2.70 for the end of 2025 and 2026, respectively.

Finally, we can use the daily rate of decrease since launch to make a RAY price prediction for the end of 2030. Since its launch, RAY has fallen 30% for a daily rate of 0.022%. Projecting this rate of decrease until the end of 2030 leads to a Raydium price prediction of $2.15.

Raydium Price Prediction for 2025

The wave count method gives a RAY price prediction range of $1.75 to $2.65 by the end of 2025.

Raydium Price Prediction for 2026

The wave count method predicts a RAY price range of $2.20 to $3.20 by the end of 2026.

Raydium Price Prediction for 2030

Using the daily rate of decrease, we arrive at a RAY price prediction range between $1.70 and $2.60 for the end of 2030.

RAY Price Analysis

The daily time frame shows that RAY has fallen under a descending resistance trend line since November 2024.

While the trend line caused several rejections, the price bounced above the $4.35 horizontal support area, creating long lower wicks each time (white icons).

If the upward movement continues, the resistance trend line will be $5.60. Whether the price breaks out or gets rejected can determine the direction of the future trend.

Short-Term RAY Price Prediction

The RAY price prediction for the next 24 hours is bullish. The price will likely reach the descending resistance trend line at $5.60.

Raydium Average True Range (ATR): RAY Volatility

The Average True Range (ATR) measures market volatility by averaging the largest of three values: the current high minus the current low, the absolute value of the current high minus the previous close, and the absolute value of the current low minus the previous close over a period, typically 14 days. A rising ATR indicates increasing volatility, while a falling ATR indicates decreasing volatility.

Since ATR values can be higher for higher-priced assets, normalize ATR by dividing it by the asset price to compare volatility across different price levels.

On Jan. 14, 2025, Raydium’s ATR was 0.477, suggesting average-to-high volatility.

Raydium Relative Strength Index (RSI): Is RAY Overbought or Oversold?

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum indicator traders use to determine whether an asset is overbought or oversold. Movements above 70 and below 30 show over and undervaluation, respectively.

Movements above and below the 50 line also indicate if the trend is bullish or bearish.

On Jan. 14, 2025, the Raydium RSI was 47, indicating slightly bearish conditions.

Raydium Market Cap to TVL Ratio

The Total Value Locked (TVL) to market cap ratio (TVL ratio) measures the valuation of a decentralized finance (DeFi) project by comparing its market capitalization to the total value of assets locked in its smart contracts. This ratio shows the project’s utilization and links the platform’s health to locked asset value.

A ratio above 1.0 indicates overvaluation because the market cap exceeds the value of assets used in the platform. A ratio below 1.0 indicates undervaluation because the market cap is lower than the value of locked assets.

On Jan. 14, 2025, the Raydium TVL ratio was 0.66, suggesting undervaluation.

CCN Strength Index

The CCN Strength Index combines an array of advanced market signals to measure the strength of individual cryptocurrencies over the last 30 days.

Every day, it assigns a strength score, ranging from 0 to 100, to the top 500 assets by market capitalization on CoinMarketCap, focusing on both trend direction and the intensity of price movements.

  • 0 to 24: Assets exhibit significant weakness, showing signs of sustained downtrend behavior.
  • 25 to 35: The price tends to move within stable bounds with minimal volatility.
  • 36 to 49: Assets begin a stable uptrend but without strong surges.
  • 50 to 59: Consistent growth with moderate price advances, building momentum.
  • 60+: Sharp price movements and high demand indicate stronger volatility and trend shifts.

The index dynamically adapts to rapid changes. For example, an asset experiencing a 100% increase within a short timeframe would see a sharp jump in its score to reflect the intensity of the rise.

However, should that asset stabilize at this new price level, the score will gradually taper down and align with the dampened momentum as the movement normalizes. The same principle applies to rapid declines: a sudden drop will spike the score downward, but the score will slowly adjust back up as volatility decreases.

On Jan. 14, 2025, Raydium scored 31.1 on the CCN Index, suggesting weak momentum.

From the Raydium Whitepaper

Raydium describes itself as the first hybrid Automated Market Maker (AMM) in its technical documentation or whitepaper.

It says: “Other AMM DEXs and DeFi protocols could only access liquidity within their own pools and had no access to a central order book. Raydium’s novel AMM was able to share idle pool liquidity to central limit order books following the constant product formula. Raydium’s hybrid AMM pools are currently set to Swap Only, which means liquidity is not being shared to a third party.” 

What is Raydium?

Raydium is an Automated Market Maker (AMM) that works with the Serum decentralized exchange (DEX) on the Solana (SOL) blockchain. It lets people trade automatically by using liquidity pools. 

Its native RAY token supports Raydium. Because RAY is based on Solana, it is a token, not a coin. You might see references to Raydium coin price predictions, but these are wrong. 

How Raydium Works

RAY helps pay for transactions on Raydium. It can be staked or set aside in return for rewards, and people can buy, sell, and trade it on exchanges. 

Is Raydium a Good Investment?

It is hard to say right now. After a strong November, RAY and most of the crypto market have cooled off, but the introduction of Solana perpetual trading could attract people to the Raydium platform. 

Will Raydium Go Up or Down?

No one can really tell right now. While the Raydium crypto price predictions are largely positive, price predictions have a well-earned reputation for being wrong. Keep in mind that prices can and do go down and up. 

Should I Invest in Raydium?

Before you decide whether or not to invest in Raydium, you will have to do your own research, not only on RAY but other related coins and tokens such as Kaspa (KAS). Either way, you must also ensure you never invest more money than you can afford to lose.
