The crypto market witnessed a day of mixed fortunes as the global market cap climbed back to $1.7 trillion, signaling a stabilization after a 3% drop yesterday.  Notably, Bitcoin surged to $43,600, marking its highest point since last week, despite a mere 6% increase in trading volume over the past 24 hours. In contrast, Solana (SOL) experienced a notable decline, shedding nearly 5% of its value today.  The market also saw significant volatility in XRP, which plummeted to $0.49, its lowest in a month. This drop was primarily attributed to speculations around a $113 million breach affecting Ripple. However, XRP rebounded following confirmation from Ripple Co-Founder Chris Larsen that the breach was limited to his personal XRP wallets.

Most cryptocurrencies have recently experienced a short squeeze following a bullish sentiment shift in the cryptocurrency market. Previously, Finbold correctly identified and reported some of these opportunities with projects like Bitcoin (BTC) and Curve (CRV).

Notably, not many digital assets are left with potential liquidity to go through a short squeeze this week. In this context, we identified Filecoin (FIL) as the most relevant laggard with meaningful liquidations to the upside. Moreover, Dogecoin (DOGE) features as the most likely short-squeezable cryptocurrency in a higher time frame. However, it is important to understand that the higher the time frame, the easier this scenario can change over time. Short squeeze alert for Filecoin...
