Solana Price Prediction for October: The Range Ran From Minus 46 to Plus 80 Percent

Solana (SOL) enters October at around $118.60 (according to CoinGecko, Friday evening, October 2, 2026). The month has a nickname among crypto investors, Uptober, because Bitcoin has closed it in the green in almost every recent year. For the Solana price prediction a look back is therefore worthwhile: how did October go for SOL itself? We analysed the monthly candles from Binance going back to 2020.

How October Has Gone for Solana Since 2020

The result is clearly inconclusive. Three Octobers ended in the green, three in the red. In 2023 SOL gained 79.7 percent between October 1 and October 31, in 2021 it gained 43.2 percent and in 2024 10.6 percent. Against that stand 2020 with minus 46.5 percent, 2025 with minus 10.3 percent and 2022 with minus 2.1 percent (monthly candles from Binance against USDT).

For comparison: Bitcoin ended October in the green in five of the six years, and only 2025 brought a loss, of 3.9 percent (same source). The reputation of October therefore comes from Bitcoin, not from Solana. And even there the same caveat applies: six years are a small sample from which no rule can be derived.

Solana Price Prediction: The Levels on the Chart

The one-year chart shows that Solana fell a long way and has been recovering since the summer. Over twelve months SOL is down around 49 percent, over 30 days it is up around 19 percent (CoinGecko). The price sits above the 50-day average (around $104) and the 200-day average (around $97), both calculated from the daily closing prices at CoinMarketCap.
