As of May 14, 51.39% of the futures positions opened within the last 24 hours have been shorts, marking a noticeable change from May 8, when Solana’s short interest reached a low of 48.34%, according to data retrieved from crypto Analysis platform Coinglass .  Solana short interest 1-month chart.

Analyst Says Solana Flashing Biggest Bear Trap, Predicts New All-Time High for SOL by End of 2025

Image
A closely followed trader believes that the layer-1 protocol Solana (SOL) may have just flashed a strong bullish reversal signal. Pseudonymous trader Inmortal tells his 231,500 followers on the social media platform X that Solana appears to have set a massive bear trap earlier this month when the price of SOL briefly dropped below $100. A bear trap is a false signal that makes it appear that the price of an asset is heading to much lower levels, but instead, the price abruptly reverses and rallies, leaving short-sellers trapped. Says Inmortal, “That weekly candle is maybe the biggest bear trap I’ve ever seen, SOL.” Source: Inmortal/X The analyst now believes that SOL is setting the stage for strong rallies en route to a new all-time high of $340 by December 2025. “In retrospect, it will be so obvious, SOL.” Source: Inmortal/X At time of writing, Solana is trading for $128.19, down over 3% on the day. Looking at Bitcoin, Inmorta...

Altcoins Will ‘Get To Fire’ Once Bitcoin Hits This Price Level, According to BitMEX Founder Arthur Hayes

Image
BitMEX founder Arthur Hayes says that altcoins may finally see a boost once Bitcoin (BTC) breaks a certain price range. In a new interview on Crypto Banter, Hayes, the founder of crypto investment firm Maelstrom, says that he’s expecting Bitcoin to continue dominating the crypto market for some time. However, Hayes says once BTC soars well above the $100,000 level again, riskier crypto assets will most likely start to shine. “We accelerated a bit after the recent Fed press conference where Powell announced the reduction of QT (quantitative tightening) and sort of teased QE (quantitative easing). We accelerated a bit, and if the market continues to collapse a bit, we’ll probably accelerate even more in terms of deploying capital. Most of what we’re buying is Bitcoin, I think Bitcoin dominance – that is the percentage of Bitcoin in the whole cryptocurrency market – continues to rise, and then at some point, let’s say Bitcion’s at...
