In a surprising turn of events, Solana<\/a> recorded a volume of $1.548 billion<\/strong> on perpetual futures contracts over the past 24 hours, edging out Ethereum’s $1.523 billion. While the gap is narrow in absolute terms, the symbolism is powerful: active traders and leveraged capital are massively migrating to SOL in search of short-term volatility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This shift in dynamics is corroborated by the Open Interest (OI)<\/strong>. With $347.6 million<\/strong> in open positions compared to $268.4 million for Ethereum<\/a>, Solana shows that capital committed to its derivatives is currently more significant. This phenomenon indicates that the market isn’t just riding a narrative, but is putting real money on the token’s performance, taking advantage of lower fees and faster execution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From a technical perspective, Solana finds itself in a “coiled spring”<\/strong> configuration. The price is currently hitting a major resistance at $144<\/strong>, a level fiercely defended by sellers. However, on-chain data, particularly the Takers’ CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta), has turned green and continues to climb. This means aggressive buyers are absorbing available supply without immediately exploding the price, a classic precursor sign of accumulation before a breakout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Analysts identify a potential cup and handle<\/strong> structure on higher timeframes. If the current buying pressure manages to break through the $144 wall, liquidity becomes scarce above this level. A confirmed breakout could trigger a cascade of short position liquidations, propelling the price toward the target zone of $180 – $190<\/strong>. The 3-day Order Block between $206 and $236<\/strong> will remain difficult to breach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The bullish<\/strong> scenario is clear: a daily close above $145 would validate the breakout and open the royal road to $190<\/strong>. The increase in leverage suggests that traders are predominantly betting on this outcome. However, the market remains at the mercy of a rejection. If sellers regain control below $144<\/strong>, a retracement toward intermediate supports (around $138<\/strong>) could cool enthusiasm. Indeed, Solana is currently still within its range between $145 and $123<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With volumes surpassing those of the giant Ethereum<\/a> and buying pressure showing no signs of weakening, Solana seems ready to dictate its terms. The burning question on investors’ lips is now: will SOL shatter its resistance this week or trap overly optimistic traders?<\/p>\n\n\n\nAnalysis: Why $190 Is in the Crosshairs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
