Solana Stuck in Neutral as Upgrades Loom

Solana's price remains relatively flat at $75.33 after a slight decline today, with modest movement and continued pressure evident as the asset stays below its key moving averages.

The upcoming Alpenglow upgrade, set to be implemented through Agave 4.3 in October, aims to achieve 150 millisecond transaction finality for improved speed and scalability. This development is a significant step forward for Solana's network performance.

Additionally, Bitwise has partnered with Superstate to tokenize its Solana staking ETF, expanding direct blockchain-based investment access. Meanwhile, Bank Leumi has added Solana trading to its Leumi Trade app, providing new institutional onramps.

The technical analysis suggests that sellers dominate the market, with strong selling pressure and weak momentum converging around key resistance levels. The price remains below major moving averages, with an immediate resistance at $75.35 and support nearby at $74.61.
