Solana Price Action Hobbled by Weak Buying Interest Amid Network Upgrades
Solana's recent price action has been impacted by weak buying interest, as indicated by its technical analysis. The asset is currently trading at $115.15, down 3.12% on the day, and positioned below its key short- and medium-term moving averages but remains above its long-term trend indicator.
The network is preparing for a significant upgrade with Alpenglow consensus, aiming to reduce transaction finality from 13 seconds to 150 milliseconds. Mainnet validators have been advised to update their software beginning September 21, while the network has also increased both transaction size limits and block capacity on September 15.
The price dynamics of SOL/USD are dominated by seller bias, with nearby resistance at the Ichimoku Kijun level of $116.39. Momentum indicators are negative, with MACD and ADX flagging a sell or strong sell environment.
Over the next 2 to 3 trading days, SOL/USD is expected to trade within a range of $110.88 to $127.68, representing a typical volatility band relative to current levels. The probability of an upward move stands at 24%, while downside continuation is favored at 76%.
