SOL shorts are at risk

SOL's mechanics are interesting here. We're seeing OI up, but Funding down means more Shorts.

Post Feature Image

SOL is at the $61 horizontal resistance. A break above could see SOL push onto $69 and then $80. It's hard to call here, but we wouldn't Short.

TLDR

  • SOL is facing a key test at $61 resistance; a breakout could trigger a short squeeze.
  • With more shorts opening positions, the long/short ratio favours bears.
  • The bullish structure is intact unless SOL drops below $52.
  • Attractive long-term buy on dips to low $40s.

Technical analysis

  • SOL is really on the cusp here; a break above $61 could see a meaningful breakout higher to $69 and even $80. 
  • $61 is the main horizontal resistance. However, a break above may drive a Short squeeze. 
  • SOL is also squeezing into the pinpoint of the uptrend line and the horizontal resistance of $61 - the result could be a volatile move here. 
  • The RSI on more major timeframes remains very overbought on the 3D and the Weekly. Note the 3D has also put in a bearish divergence. 

Market mechanics

  • Open Interest has moved up again to $850m, just shy of the yearly high set a few weeks back at $933m. 
  • But, what’s interesting in comparison to BTC and ETH is that the OI-Weighted Funding Rate for SOL has decreased over the last 8 hours, ramping down from 0.016% to 0.010%. 
  • The Long/Short ratio is 0.9631, indicating more participants have piled into Shorts than Longs. It is a very different setup from BTC and ETH. 

Cryptonary’s take

SOL is really interesting here, particularly from a mechanics point of view. We’re seeing more Shorts open into the resistance of $61. These Shorts may be vulnerable to a squeeze, particularly if SOL breaks out of $61.

Regarding DCA’ing for SOL, we’ll add to our long-term bags if SOL can pull back to $52 with light DCA Spot buys. If SOL pulls back to $48, we’ll be even more aggressive with our DCA Spot buys down to the low $40s.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
