Solana Futures Interest Jumps 20% as $100 Target Comes Into Focus

What happened: Solana futures open interest increased by 20% this week, coinciding with SOL's steady recovery alongside the broader crypto market. Despite today's 3.27% decline, traders are actively positioning for a potential move toward the psychological $100 level, representing 16% upside from current levels.

Why it matters: The surge in derivatives activity suggests growing conviction among sophisticated traders that Solana's ecosystem momentum can drive price appreciation. With SOL currently at $86, the increased leverage positions could amplify moves in either direction, making the $100 level a critical technical battleground.
