Why Solana is down 1.1% in the last hour

Analysis

Solana (SOL) slipped ~1.1% over the past hour as traders appeared to take profits or “sell the news” after a notable network upgrade announcement. The move came alongside reports that Solana reduced mainnet slot time to 350ms as a first step toward a 200ms target, a technically positive development that can still coincide with short-term price pullbacks.
