Solana BAM upgrade boosts execution speed despite ongoing sell pressure
Jito has upgraded its Block Assembly Marketplace (BAM) on Solana, reducing bundle submission delays by around 50 milliseconds and reporting up to a 72% increase in average rewards per successful bundle, according to Cryptobriefing. The upgrade delivers faster execution and higher profitability for network participants, which may incentivize greater activity among users and validators. Additional infrastructure changes include improved bundle ingestion and the introduction of 25-millisecond batch auctions, with Tokenpost noting a planned maintenance period that will temporarily limit BAM-native features prior to Solana's Alpenglow activation. Although these innovations target improved transaction efficiency and user experience, price action has remained under broader selling pressure.
Fresh lows approach as selling dominance meets oversold momentum
JTO is trading below the MA-20 at $0.5322, MA-50 at $0.5297, and MA-200 at $0.5116, while the Ichimoku Kijun sits at $0.5313 and now acts as immediate resistance. Momentum indicators show MACD on a Sell signal and ADX at Neutral, with intraday oscillators flagging downside exhaustion: RSI at 36, and both Stoch RSI and CCI in Oversold territory. Bull/Bear Power points toward persistent selling dominance, which is also reflected in the Awesome Oscillator. The price is hovering near the session's low after a high-volatility drop.
Extended downside risk as consolidation persists within volatile range
For the next 2–3 sessions, JTO is expected to trade within a volatility band from $0.4837 to $0.5432. The likelihood of a further decline is very high, while a rebound is seen as much less probable unless resistance at $0.5313 is surpassed. The base scenario anticipates consolidation within the existing downward channel, with a bearish continuation possible if the $0.4837 support is broken.
Earlier, analysts noted that Jito had entered a phase of sustained downside risk, with bearish momentum overwhelming prior consolidation. The current article reinforces this view as continued technical weakness overshadows recent protocol upgrades, making the $0.4837 support level a pivotal threshold for traders to monitor in the near term.
