Solana recently announced the launch of DVT-1, Saga’s developer units program, and gave early access to a limited group of developers. The new program gave developers access to an early, pre-production version of Saga so they could build, test, and fine-tune it on real hardware.
Calling all developers!

All of these developments looked promising for the blockchain and had the potential to fuel another bull run.
What should Solana investors expect?
However, it didn’t prove to be favorable for Solana in terms of on-map performance. SOL failed to satisfy its investors as it registered only more than 1% in weekly profits.
From CoinMarketCapat the time of writing, SOL was trading at $13.64 with a market cap of over $4.99 billion.
A look at SOL’s daily chart painted an ambiguous picture. Some market indicators favored SOL, while others suggested a price drop. For example, the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) ribbon revealed the market advantage of sellers. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) was also below the neutral mark, which was a bearish signal.
Nevertheless, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) registered a bullish crossover, giving investors hope for a price increase in the coming days. The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) was also relatively up, which was a positive sign.
