Why Solana is up 8.0% today
Analysis
Solana (SOL) rose about 8% over the past 24 hours as a broader crypto rebound—led by Bitcoin pushing back near $69K—triggered short liquidations that amplified upside momentum in SOL alongside BTC and ETH. Decrypt reported that Solana shorts were among those “rekt” during the move, suggesting forced buybacks helped fuel the rally.
