Wall Street pours $45mln into Solana ETFs – A $169 move only happens IF…

Bullish sentiment around Solana intensified after strong ETF inflows and a shift in trader positioning lifted prices during the day. According to CoinMarketCap, Solana [SOL] traded at $142, up 12.05%, as the rally pulled the asset toward a bullish pattern neckline.

Solana Spot ETFs hit record inflow 

The bullish momentum in SOL was further strengthened by U.S. Solana Spot Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), which recorded a heavy inflow following an outflow on December 1, 2025.

According to SoSoValue, Solana ETFs saw a Total Net Inflow of $45.77 million on the 2nd of December, indicating strong demand and rising interest among Wall Street investors.

Another metric supporting SOL’s upside momentum was a notable surge in Open Interest (OI), according to CoinGlass. According to recent data, over the past 24 hours, the altcoin’s OI has surged in double digits, marking a 10.61% jump to $7.40 billion.

Rising OI along with the price suggests a strong bullish trend, indicating that new money is entering the market and the upward movement is likely to continue.

Double-bottom setup on daily chart

AMBCrypto’s technical analysis indicated a developing double-bottom on the daily timeframe, with price hovering near the neckline. A daily close above $145 could trigger a measured move toward $169, roughly a 16% advance.

The Average Directional Index stood at 41.77, indicating strong trend momentum.

Traders’ strong bets on long positions 

Traders with long positions appeared to be following the prevailing trend, as long bets continue to rise. On an intraday level, $137.50 and $144.50 were the two major liquidation levels on the lower and upper sides, respectively.

At these levels, traders had built $210.97 million worth of long positions at press time and $87.74 million worth of short positions.

The intraday bets suggest that long-position traders were dominating the asset, with strong confidence that SOL’s price is unlikely to fall below the $137.50 level anytime soon.
