Solana ($SOL) is experiencing a significant divergence between long and short positions on Bitfinex. Long positions have surged to over 86,000 contracts, indicating a strong bullish sentiment. However, extreme imbalances in positioning can lead to sudden market reversals. With SOL's price hovering around $179-$180, traders are unsure if this market will result in a rally or a sharp correction. While the long-short ratio suggests confidence in SOL's upside, historically, such high long positions precede major price moves or sharp liquidation events. Short positions have remained stagnant, raising questions about short sellers being squeezed out or a potential contrarian move. SOL's price action suggests that bulls are in control, but a sudden wave of selling pressure could occur. Extreme long positions often act as a contrarian indicator, and if SOL continues to climb, the bullish momentum could reach $200. However, a sharp retracement towards $160-$170 is possible in a long squeeze. The next few days will be critical, as a drop in long positions could trigger liquidations and volatility. Traders are unsure whether the wave of long positions will lead to a breakout or trap.
