If you have been checking Solana price predictions, you noticed something odd: the biggest upgrade of the year landed, and the price barely moved. Transaction V1 went live on September 9 and lifted the transaction limit from 1,232 to 4,096 bytes, per 24/7 Wall St. Yet SOL trades near $104, down 1%, per CoinEdition.
What is the latest Solana news behind the Solana price prediction today?
Solana switched on Transaction V1 on September 9, lifting the maximum size of one transaction from 1,232 bytes to 4,096, per 24/7 Wall St. That room fits zero knowledge proofs and big multisig setups in one transaction, per U.Today.
Alpenglow follows in October, targeting finality near 150 milliseconds, against roughly 12.8 seconds today. A faster chain pulls in more apps, more users, more demand for SOL. The key word is later. The question is where the money goes meanwhile.
Solana price prediction levels for today, this week and this month
SOL trades at $104.47 on CoinMarketCap, and today’s line is $104. Hold it and $109 is in reach, lose it and $98.76 opens, per CoinEdition on September 9. The trend is up, with the 20, 50 and 200 day averages stacked in order, per Cryptonomist.
For the week, the late August high at $109.65 and the upper band at $110.71 cap it. For the month, analyst Ali Martinez targets $150, but SOL must clear $123 and then $132 first, per The Coin Republic.
Holders bought about 20 million SOL at each of those levels, so they will not fall fast. The honest read: $104 to $150 is a 45% gain that takes a quarter and two wall breaks, solid but not life changing.
Conclusion
Solana had its moment, the run from under $2 to $260 in 2021. Transaction V1 proves chains get built slowly while market reactions can take time. Getting this right was never about being smart, because everyone can see the same numbers.
It comes down to deciding while the price is still this low. Every past cycle says the same thing: the people who moved early got rich, and the people who waited read about them.
FAQs
How does the Transaction V1 upgrade affect the Solana price prediction?
It helps later, not today: SOL still needs $104 to hold and $123 to break.
