Mainstream coin market divergence! BTC breaks 96,000, SOL attracts funds against the trend, ETH's critical support level is here


Last night, the crypto market experienced "fire and ice": BTC broke through 96,000 dollars to hit a two-month high, SOL surged with a net inflow of 3,280 million, while ETH struggled near the neckline—understanding the capital flow is key to making moves in this divergence👇
🔥 BTC: 94,500 dollars becomes new support, 500 million short squeeze boosts upward
After breaking through the key resistance at 94,500 dollars, BTC surged 2% in a single day to stabilize above 96,000. The core logic is short squeeze + institutional support: over the past 4 hours, the entire network liquidated over 500 million dollars, futures positions dropped from 31.5 billion to 30.6 billion, and leveraged shorts were forced to close, pushing prices higher.
Technically, after the cup and handle breakout, the next target is directly at 99,000 dollars (last year's strong support level), and 94,500 dollars has turned from resistance into a "lifeline"—as long as it doesn't break down effectively, the mid-term target can be 106,000 dollars.
Trading suggestion: buy on dips in the 94,500-95,000 range in batches, with a stop loss at 92,000; if it reaches 99,000, reduce positions by 30% to avoid chasing highs.
🚀 SOL: Attracts 3,280 million against the trend, becoming a safe haven for funds
In an environment where BTC/ETH weekly outflows exceed 500 million, SOL attracted a net inflow of 3,280 million, becoming the only mainstream coin rising against the trend! The core logic is ecosystem narrative + capital rotation: RWA ecosystem lock-up continues to grow, and institutions are choosing "small and beautiful" quality assets for hedging amid macro uncertainties.
Technically, it has stabilized above the critical support at 120 dollars, with volume increasing by 30%. If it breaks through the 135-dollar resistance, a new upward space will open.
Trading suggestion: lightly position at 125-130 dollars, with a stop loss at 118 dollars; after breaking 135 dollars, add positions accordingly, targeting 150 dollars.
⚠️ ETH: The 2880-dollar critical support level game, head and shoulders top risk not eliminated
ETH is showing weakness, currently oscillating around 3350 dollars. The technical picture still hangs over the head and shoulders "Damocles' sword"—if the neckline support at 2880 dollars breaks, a 20% correction may be triggered.
Although ETF inflows continue, the pressure from staked exit queues and capital shifting to assets like SOL/XRP result in insufficient upward momentum. However, on-chain data shows mid-term holders steadily increasing positions below 3100 dollars, indicating valuation recovery potential.
Trading suggestion: try long positions with small size below 3200 dollars, stop loss at 3000 dollars; add on breaks above 3400 dollars, do not hold heavy before the level is broken.
💡 Core judgment
The current market is a "structural bull market": capital is flowing from BTC/ETH to high-quality altcoins, with SOL and XRP (weekly inflow of 45.8 million) emerging as clear winners. Macro data like CPI release tonight may trigger short-term volatility, but the institutional ETF inflow of 150 billion annually remains unchanged.
Trading focus: seize the retracement opportunity in BTC, chase the trend in SOL, strictly control ETH positions—cryptocurrency markets are always about "survivors," avoiding greed and overleveraging to profit in the divergence.
