Solana

Ethereum is trading just under the $3,000 technical pivot, a level that has historically separated expansion from consolidation. XRP is now sitting on a long-term weekly support slightly below $2, while Solana has pulled back to the $120 zone that has often acted as a launch area. Market behavior suggests controlled declines and weakening sell pressure, leaving room for potential reversals if these supports hold.

An on-chain wallet known as "BitcoinOG" or "1011short" has shifted from its previously reported $197 million Bitcoin short on Hyperliquid to building a leveraged long portfolio across Solana, Ethereum and Bitcoin.
