$SOL shorts are now paying longs to stay short — funding flipped to -0.0147%/8h while SOL clawed back above $70.58.
I called $70.58 lost. It broke, dipped to $67.41, then bounced to ~$71.40. The flush wiped $69M in longs (97% of it) and open interest fell 11.4% to $4.21B. The shorts who replaced them pay ~16% a year to hold.
ETFs still bled though — $3.1M out on 13 Nov, the 7th straight session — so institutions aren't buying the dip yet.
$BTC bounced the same way, $62,006 low back near $64,900, so this isn't a SOL-only bounce. Breakpoint opens in London today — SOL is centre stage.
My lean: cautiously long-leaning while $70.58 holds — the funding bill sits on the shorts now, not on us. If $70.58 holds the daily close, $78.20 is next. If $67.41 breaks, $65 opens.
Does $70.58 hold the close, or was this bounce just a breather?
Not financial advice. DYOR.
