Solana (SOL) and Hyperliquid (HYPE) have both seen significant increases in short positions, potentially triggering a squeeze. Data shows SOL faces up to $680 million in short risk near $96, while HYPE faces over $60 million in short risk above $42. Signals supporting this include SOL's net outflows from exchanges and a surge in decentralized exchange (DEX) trading activity. HYPE's unique HIP-3 markets tie its performance to broader macro assets like oil and indices. The market remains at a critical juncture, with resistance levels determining whether a short squeeze will accelerate price gains or if short positions can maintain the status quo.
