The on-chain transaction count for $SOL could plunge after October 21—and that’s exactly when the liquidity trap could be set.
The Solana Foundation has set epoch 1064 (October 21) for Alpenglow’s activation, cutting transaction finality time to 150 ms. The key point: the new mechanism moves validator voting off-chain—which means the on-chain tx count could drop abnormally even though the network is still running normally. Distorted data like this is perfect bait for market makers to stir up panic and liquidate leveraged positions on both sides.
At the time of writing, $SOL is holding at $107.53—consolidating sideways, with no major inflows yet.
Personally, I’m not chasing this technical event. The scenario I’m waiting for: a clear liquidity sweep (on both sides) after October 21 before considering an entry. Manage risk first when trading futures, and DYOR.
Are you holding $SOL or waiting?
