SOL recently stole the spotlight with a breathtaking ascent. And when most people thought SOL would tire out, a major change in mechanics saw it move drastically higher. Can SOL continue its massive ascent higher?

We believe that in the short-term, SOL’s horizontal resistance zone of $48 to $50 will act as resistance, and price may get a more meaningful pullback in the coming weeks. Immediately, we would look to the $37/$38 area as being a support with the next support at $32/$33.
The funding rate is what moved the price drastically yesterday evening. As SOL moved into the low $40s, the funding rate went deeply negative while open interest increased. This indicated that traders piled into shorts and paid a massive premium to be short. This led to a short squeeze, which saw SOL’s price move higher to liquidate the shorts and burst into the $47 area.
Since yesterday, the funding rate and the open interest have been reset to more healthy levels.
