Solana says its Alpenglow upgrade is now live on mainnet, cutting processing times from approximately 12.8 seconds to 150 milliseconds. SOL is recovering as buyers defend the $95-$100 demand zone, but overheating signals point to possible volatility.
Solana announced that Alpenglow is live on its mainnet, cutting network processing times from approximately 12.8 seconds to 150 milliseconds. SOL, meanwhile, is recovering after last week's correction, with buyers defending the $95-$100 demand zone.
ETF inflows and whale orders back the rebound
Institutional demand shows signs of improvement. Just hours after the announcement, the network reported $585,000 in daily SOL ETF inflows, which points to positive institutional flow.
Whales appear to be moving in the same direction. Futures Average Order Size data shows Solana whales taking more orders at the current trading price.
Spot markets show increased trading activity too. Network trading volume spiked by 6% to $2.27 billion, and the Spot Volume Bubble Map is flashing overheating signals.
Overheating signals raise the risk of volatility
However, the source cautions that SOL could face renewed volatility if buying becomes crowded or larger holders begin taking profits. Holding above the $95-$100 demand zone would help preserve the recovery structure, while the overheating signals warrant caution.
To strengthen the bullish outlook, SOL must maintain buying pressure and demand rather than reacting quickly to the upgrade. Sustained adoption and market demand will decide whether the upgrade translates into a lasting SOL rally.
