 Solana <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24SOL&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$SOL</a> breaking out of a multi-month consolidation in a big way. Booking its two best performances of the year yesterday and today. As the 4th largest crypto, this is a bullish development on its own, but it is also an illustration of a larger theme of breadth expansion. <a href="https://t.co/lYDbMLnTD5" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">pic.twitter.com/lYDbMLnTD5</a>— Steven Strazza (@sstrazza) <a href="https://twitter.com/sstrazza/status/1763232773643366650?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">February 29, 2024</a>

According to market analyst Steven Strazza, this movement not only shows Solana's growing strength but also reflects a wider expansion in the breadth of the cryptocurrency market.
SOL is more than 14% over the past 24 hours. &nbsp;&nbsp;

The derivatives market for Solana <a href="https://www.coinglass.com/currencies/SOL" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">has seen</a> a notable uptick, according to the latest data from CoinGlass. Trading volumes in Solana's futures have surged by over 58%, reaching a substantial $15.45 billion.&nbsp;
Open interest, which is the total number of outstanding derivative contracts that have not been settled, has also risen sharply by nearly 30%, indicating an increased commitment from traders, now at $2.24 billion.&nbsp;
In the options market, both volume and open interest have seen significant growth, hinting at heightened market activity and anticipation of future price movements.

Now that Solana's price action has heated up, the market hasn't been without turbulence. Over various time frames, "Rekt" data—a colloquial term for the value of liquidated positions due to sudden price moves—shows significant liquidations.&nbsp;
In the past hour alone, $1.50 million worth of long positions (bets that prices will rise) were liquidated, compared to $432.98K in short positions (bets against the price).&nbsp;
Over the past 24 hours, total liquidations for Solana (SOL) traders amounted to $22.80 million.&nbsp;
