  • Solana is currently trading at the $90 mark.
  • SOL has seen $11.60M in 24-hour liquidations.

Solana (SOL) is showing signs of a potential short squeeze, which happens when traders betting against the price are forced to buy back as the price rises. Recently, it reclaimed the $93.14 level, which had acted as a resistance zone for about 39 days. This shift suggests that the market structure is changing, with that former resistance now potentially acting as support.

While many traders were expecting further downside, this move caught the market off guard. If SOL manages to hold above this level, it could build confidence among buyers and trigger stronger upward momentum. The mentioned targets at $102.67 and $113.16 represent the next key areas where the price could move if the bullish momentum continues.

Currently, Solana has posted a loss of over 3.94%, and it trades around the $90.53 range. Moreover, the daily trading volume has decreased by over 33.72%, reaching the $3.79 billion mark. Concurrently, the market has experienced an  $11.60 million worth of Solana liquidation over the past 24 hours, as reported by the Coinglass data. 

Assuming the Solana bears strengthen their grip, the price might slip and test the support at the $88.36 range. If the downside correction continues, the death cross could take place and trigger the price below $86.59. Upon the bulls entering, the Solana price could climb to the resistance level at $92.72. An upside pressure might potentially push the golden cross out and extend the gains to its former high at around $94.73. 

Solana’s Technical Chart Signals Further Downside

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line is below the signal line, but both are above the zero line. It indicates the SOL market is still in an uptrend but losing momentum. Notably, the recent strength is starting to fade, and the sellers are pushing back.

Besides, the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator is positioned at -0.07, suggesting mild selling pressure. Money is flowing out more than in, so the sellers have a small edge. The move is not strong, but it shows weakness in buying interest and sideways action. 

Solana’s daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) is found at 41.59 implies a slight bearish bias. As it is below the neutral mark, the sellers have control, but the momentum is not strong. If the value drops further, it builds downside pressure, while a move back above 50 hints at buyers stepping in. 

Moreover, the Bull Bear Power (BBP) reading of -4.45 points to strong bearish pressure, pushing the price below its average level. It reflects clear downside momentum and weak buying support. The market may keep trending lower if the value continues to drop.

The $40 Million ‘Free Money’ Glitch in Crypto Prediction Markets

The $40 Million ‘Free Money’ Glitch in Crypto Prediction Markets

The post The $40 Million ‘Free Money’ Glitch in Crypto Prediction Markets appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In brief Researchers found $40 million in “risk-free” profits from mispriced markets on Polymarket in one year. Prices on some markets didn’t add up to 100%, letting traders lock in guaranteed gains. The same inefficiencies likely exist on other platforms like Myriad and Kalshi, though arbitrageurs help correct them. A new academic paper suggests there’s been a steady stream of “free money” lying around on Polymarket—and smart traders have been scooping it up. The paper, Unravelling the Probabilistic Forest: Arbitrage in Prediction Markets, is the most detailed look yet at how mispricing creeps into crypto’s most popular prediction platform. The researchers combed through a year of data, from April 2024 to April 2025, and found thousands of instances where market prices simply didn’t add up. In some cases, the prices of “Yes” and “No” shares in a single market didn’t sum to one dollar as they theoretically should, creating a risk-free profit for anyone quick enough to pounce.  In other cases, the mispricing was more subtle, involving logically related markets. For example, a market on “Trump wins the presidency” might trade at very different odds than “Republican wins the presidency,” even though those outcomes are tightly linked. By buying and selling combinations of these contracts, a savvy trader could lock in a profit no matter what happens. The researchers estimate more than $40 million in profits have already been pulled from the system by arbitrageurs, traders who specialize in sniffing out and exploiting these kinds of inconsistencies. Far from being a theoretical curiosity, this is a live and lucrative business model. Is this pattern true across all prediction markets? What’s striking is how common these opportunities are. The study found more than 7,000 markets with measurable mispricing, many in highly liquid, closely watched contracts. “Prediction markets are often treated…
