Yes, judging by these screenshots, it looks like the market is currently “compressed”; there’s no strong impulse.

What I see:

BTC

On the 1H timeframe, the trend is still moderately bullish: the price is above the EMA15:

This looks more like a range than the beginning of a strong move.

SOL

On the 1H timeframe, the situation is also not bad—the price is holding above the moving averages.

But on the 5m and 15m candles are small, there are almost no volumes.

The 81.2–81.3 area looks like resistance. Until it’s broken, there may not be a strong rise.

If I were choosing a trade right now

❌ I wouldn’t enter right now with 20–30x leverage.

The reason is simple: the market is standing still. With such leverage, you can lose your deposit due to ordinary price noise, even if later it moves in the right direction.

What I would wait for

For SOL

Go long only if the price firmly holds above 81.30–81.40 with a good green candle.

Or if it drops to 80.6–80.7 and a strong bounce appears.

For BTC

If it breaks upward the 61,900–62,000 area, then you can look for a long.

If it goes below 61,600, then you can start thinking about a short.

There’s another idea

If you want to try to make money specifically with a small amount, I would look not at BTC and SOL, but at more volatile coins from the top-50 (for example SUI, SEI, WIF, PEPE, FET, INJ—depending on what’s moving actively today). Sometimes they have a 5–10% move in a few hours, so even with a small deposit the odds are higher. But the risk there is also noticeably higher.
