Analysis

Matt Hougan states investors underestimate recent blockchain gains, shifting from dial-up to broadband speeds while Solana officially trims slot time to 350ms for the first time.

The 2019-2021 bull market collapsed partly because tech failed under demand spikes, yet that constraint no longer applies amid ongoing Solana slot time reduction and blockchain scalability improvements.

At $90.66, SOL trades inside Bollinger Bands with upper resistance at $93.49; the overbought RSI(14) at 88.87 alongside MACD golden cross at 3.59 points to probable retracement toward EMA50 support of $80.15 before continuation, shaping any near-term SOL price prediction and guarding against repeat crypto market crash triggers from infrastructure limits.
