Despite mixed sentiment from long/short ratios, growing institutional interest and higher liquidity suggest Bitcoin’s market maturity. Traders should watch for shifts as the Crypto Fear & Greed Index rises to 65, indicating optimistic sentiment.
Solana’s 50% Return
Solana has continued its upward trend in 2024, achieving a 50% year-to-date return. Currently priced at $154.69, with a trading volume of $2.58 billion, Solana remains a key player in the smart contract space.

Beyond this speculation, Solana’s derivatives market shows strong bullish sentiment. Trading volumes are up 4.09% to $5.25 billion, while open interest has grown by 1.05% to $2.49 billion.
Long positions dominate, particularly on Binance, suggesting traders are preparing for potential volatility. Liquidations totaled $6.48 million in the past 24 hours, mostly affecting short positions, pointing to a possible short squeeze.
Ethereum Sees Bullish Momentum Surge
Ethereum is priced at $2,617.23, experiencing a 3.14% increase in the last 24 hours. With a trading volume of over $19.1 billion and a market cap surpassing $315 billion. ETH has a circulating supply of 120,385,428 ETH coins, while market activity signals growing optimism. A closer look at derivatives shows a 14.06% rise in volume to $25.84 billion and a 6.79% increase in open interest to $13.14 billion.
Traders are especially bullish, as shown by long/short ratios on major exchanges like Binance (1.8385) and OKX (1.65), with Binance’s top traders leading the way. Liquidation data indicates heightened market volatility, with $30.21 million liquidated in the past day, primarily from short positions ($23.01 million). This short squeeze suggests that traders betting against Ethereum were forced to close their positions, driving the upward price movement.
