SOL, ZEC, LINK Long Trap? January Liquidation Risk Overview

【Crypto World】The market is quite interesting right now. Data from the end of December shows that a group of traders have accumulated significant long leverage on coins like Solana, Zcash, and Chainlink. But here’s the problem—after entering January, these positions are all at risk of being liquidated.

The situation with SOL is the most tense. Last week, ETF fund inflows plummeted by 93%, leaving only $13.14 million entering the market. What does this indicate? Market enthusiasm for SOL is clearly waning. The already fragile long positions now resemble a sword hanging in the air.

ZEC tells a different story. It rose 70% in December, a substantial gain, but this also means profit-taking is piling up. Most importantly, on-chain data shows that large holders are quietly reducing their positions. Under these circumstances, any adjustment could turn into a collective liquidation.

The pressure on LINK comes from rising exchange reserves. What does this usually mean? A sign of potential sell-offs. When more coins are stored on exchanges, it often signals impending selling pressure.

Numbers speak: if LINK drops to $110, it could trigger over $880 million in liquidations; if ZEC falls to $466, it could cause chain reactions of over $78 million in liquidations. These are not imaginary figures—they represent real risk boundaries.
