Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) experienced a sharp price surge that triggered a massive short squeeze, liquidating about $281 million in short positions within 24 hours and forcing roughly 95,690 traders out. The squeeze was driven by heavy short positioning combined with rising spot demand, causing forced buying that rapidly pushed prices higher.
