Will the price of Solana be above $95 on October 23?

Analysis

Solana's live price read $103.99 on Oct. 19, with a 24-hour range of $100.51 to $105.91, according to a price page on Binance's site. Other reports from the same day put SOL near $105.70 and at $106, so the coin sits roughly $9 to $11 above the $95 line that matters for Friday, Oct. 23. That gap is the main reason the forecast leans toward Solana finishing above $95. The close that counts is the Binance SOL/USDT one-minute candle at noon Eastern on Oct. 23, so the price has to still be up there at that exact minute. One report flags $100.43 as key support, and the recent bounce from last week's selloff toward $100 held above it. It isn't a stress-free picture. U.S. spot Solana ETFs saw $12.7 million in outflows on Oct. 16, their tenth straight session of withdrawals. Daily RSI was 42.72 with MACD still bearish, so momentum hasn't turned. SkyAI, formerly Sharps Technology, has also sold its entire Solana treasury, according to a report. Then there's the Alpenglow consensus upgrade, scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 21. Reports say it could bring a brief transaction pause and data-stream interruptions during the handoff, and one outlet says it could fuel volatility. The thing to watch is how Solana trades around $100 after Alpenglow goes live. A break below that support would shrink the cushion fast.
