Why Traders Should Be Watching SOL Right Now
1. ETF Inflows on the Rise
Solana is steadily gaining traction with US-listed staking ETFs. The REX-Osprey SSK fund has exceeded $100 million in AUM just within 12 days of launch and registered $222M in trading volume, signaling growing institutional appetite.
2. Alpenglow Upgrade Enters Voting Phase
Solana’s most ambitious upgrade yet — Alpenglow (SIMD-0326) — is now under community governance. If approved, block finality drops from ~12.8 seconds to just 100–150 milliseconds, carving a path toward Web2-level speed.
3. Network Showcasing High Throughput
Solana pressure-tested its capabilities with throughput reaching 80,000–100,000 TPS, spotlighting its scalability edge in the decentralized infrastructure space.
Market Signals & Strategic Levels
Support Zone: ~$175–$180 — a proven demand base.
Resistance Wall: ~$185–$190 — surpassing this could ignite the next rally.
If ETF inflows and network upgrades align, analysts are eyeing a potential breakout with price targets near $250.
Bottom Line
Solana is at a crossroads of institutional influx, tech upgrades, and network prowess. Despite short-term pullback from intraday highs, the structural setup remains bullish — especially if Alpenglow passes and ETF demand holds strong. This could be the setup for a breakout move, with bigger upside on the horizon.
