Short liquidation pressure is 2x higher than longs.
A move to $147 could liquidate up to $1B in short positions.
Strong ETF inflows, solid support around $130, and growing institutional demand strengthen bullish recovery potential.
Rising leverage on shorts increases liquidation risk.
A move to $0.45 could liquidate $50M in shorts.
Positive sentiment from the Midnight Network, a privacy-focused blockchain by IOG, boosts ADA demand through staking incentives.
Meme coin with explosive growth, but high downside risk.
73% of supply is held by only 93 wallets, raising manipulation concerns.
Lack of project updates since June weakens confidence.
A drop below $0.30 could trigger $9M+ long liquidations.
ā ļø Bottom line: While fear dominates the market, SOL and ADA have clear catalysts for short squeezes, while PIPPIN remains highly speculative with elevated dump risk.
