SOL Eyes $120 Target if Bulls Defend $87 Support Level Zone


Solana continues to attract strong market attention as price action reflects a mix of liquidation-driven momentum and improving technical structure. The asset trades at $88.87, posting a 3.84% daily gain and a 6.39% weekly increase. Trading volume has surged past $6.1 billion, signaling active participation.

Analysts now focus on whether Solana can sustain its recent breakout or face another liquidity-driven pullback. The current setup places Solana at a critical point, where both short-term momentum and higher timeframe confirmation could define the next major move.

Liquidation Clusters Drive Short-Term Momentum

According to CW8900, recent price movement reflects aggressive liquidation activity across key leverage zones. The liquidation heatmap shows dense clusters below $81 and above $89.

Price repeatedly tested the lower range, triggering long liquidations before reversing sharply. This behavior suggests strong buyer absorption at lower levels.

Moreover, the push toward $90 cleared a significant number of short positions. Consequently, the upward move gained strength as forced closures added buying pressure. This pattern indicates that liquidity, rather than organic demand, fueled the breakout.

However, holding above $87 remains essential for continuation. A drop below this level could trigger a retrace toward $84, where the market may rebuild liquidity.

Cup and Handle Structure Signals Upside Potential

Additionally, CryptoJobs3 identifies a clean cup and handle formation on the 4-hour chart. The structure developed after a liquidity sweep below $80, where buyers regained control. The rounded base formed steadily, while resistance near $93 to $95 defined the rim.

Claim1,200 USDT in the Monthly Creation Challenge

Liquidity inventory and regulated warehousing can become the dominant drivers because they scale with volume, mandates, and the need to hold working capital.

Meanwhile, that is also where the story gets concrete. If flows are routed through XRP, holders see a structural bid that grows with adoption. If flows settle around stablecoins and issued assets, XRP’s role can remain thin even as the ledger looks busier every month.

North Korean hackers likely pocketed hundreds of millions in stolen crypto — and now a US court is being asked to decide whether a stablecoin giant should have stopped them.

Circle’s Own Track Record Becomes A Key Weapon
A class action lawsuit filed in a Massachusetts federal court this week names Circle Internet Group as the defendant, with plaintiffs arguing the company had both the means and the opportunity to stop roughly $280 million in stolen USDC from moving across blockchains — and did nothing.

The case was brought by Drift Protocol investor Joshua McCollum, representing more than 100 affected members. Their attorneys put it plainly: Circle allowed criminal use of its own technology.


The complaint was filed Wednesday in a Massachusetts US district court by Drift investor Joshua McCollum, representing more than 100 members.
The April 1 attack on Drift Protocol saw attackers drain funds and route them from Solana to Ethereum using Circle’s Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol, a bridging tool the company operates. The transfers happened over several hours, according to reports. The window was wide open.

What makes the lawsuit particularly pointed is what happened just days before the hack. About a week prior, Circle froze 16 USDC wallets tied to a sealed US civil case. Plaintiffs seized on that detail. If Circle could move fast for a court-adjacent matter, they argue, it could have acted here too. That single fact sits at the center of the legal fight.

I hope there’s some precedent set. Either you’re a decentralized protocol and literally do not have the power to freeze or you’re not and you should be freezing hacked funds. This middle ground hand wavy “only with a court order” stuff is weak. Misses the forest for the trees https://t.co/TqzOYKZOvm

8,000 Jobs'—Polymarket Sees Tech Layoff Surge As Meta AI Push Bites"We're starting to see projects that used to require big teams now be accomplished by a single very talented person." That was Mark Zuckerberg, talking up the rise of artificial intelligence inside Meta this year. On Friday, Reuters reported the corollary: the Meta layoffs investors had been bracing for are coming, with roughly 8,000 jobs cut starting May 20, about 10% of its 79,000-person workforce.
Bettors on Polymarket, the prediction market backed by Wall Street's Intercontinental Exchange, saw it coming. The site's Meta headcount and Meta share-price markets, with about $112,000 in combined volume, were already pricing the cuts as both inevitable and good for the stock before Reuters published. The broader "Tech Layoffs Up or Down in 2026?" book has been at 77% Up all month and the Q1 companion has collapsed to 96% Up, essentially calling the quarter resolved before it formally settles on May 5.

Circle unveils USDC Bridge for native cross-chain stablecoin transfers



Stablecoin issuer Circle has launched $USDC Bridge, enabling users to transfer $USDC natively between at least 17 blockchains without needing to rely on wrapped or synthetic tokens.

On Friday, Circle’s $USDC X account said the bridge allows users to move the $USDC ($USDC) stablecoin in a “predictable, transparent way,” citing a native burn-and-mint transfer mechanism and no bridge complexities.

Gas fees will be handled automatically, fees will be shown upfront, and live status updates will be provided throughout the transfer, Circle added.

Source: Circle

The $USDC Bridge builds on Circle’s Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP), which was introduced in April 2023 and facilitates hundreds of millions of stablecoin transfers each day.

Cross-chain bridges seek to make the broader crypto ecosystem interoperable, functioning as a unified network rather than a collection of fragmented, isolated blockchains.

Making bridges as simple and easy to use as possible has been an area of focus for many crypto infrastructure firms.

In the past, bridges have confused users and arguably slowed crypto adoption, especially for beginners struggling to navigate bridge interfaces, trade routes and gas fees.

$USDC Bridge supports over a dozen blockchains

Cointelegraph found that $USDC Bridge supports $USDC transfers between at least 17 Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible blockchains, including Ethereum, Avalanche, Arbitrum, Base, Monad, Optimism, Polygon, Sonic and World Network.
