Solana and Avantis Rally on High Volume as Bitcoin, Ethereum Slip — September 16, 2025, 9:25 AM IST

Tuesday morning witnesses volatile rotation in crypto markets, with Solana and Avantis outperforming while Bitcoin and Ethereum remain under pressure:

• Bitcoin (BTC) holds near US$115,000 (-0.13%) as volume surges to US$675.68M (+143.43%). Funding is neutral (0%), indicating mostly spot-driven action amid broader market churn.
• Ethereum (ETH) drops 2.41% to US$4,500 on heavy turnover of US$543.37M (+150.32%), with a tame funding rate of 0.02%, reflecting profit-taking and risk reduction among traders.
• Solana (SOL) continues to lead, rallying to US$235.07 (-3.27% from highs, holding near recent resistance), with volume up 26.71% to US$442.61M. Funding rate at 0.43% supports ongoing speculative flows and technical momentum as analysts eye a $253 breakout.
• Avantis (AVNT) explodes 24.04% higher to US$1.102 as volume rises 17.5% to US$257.21M, with a high funding rate of 0.91%, pointing to aggressive long positioning and short-term alpha chasing.

Market Context

• Solana's technical setup is in play as inflows surge, with analysts watching for a push above $253 to extend its rally to $272/$300.
• Avantis emerges as a top gainer amid sector rotation, attracting both spot and leverage-driven flows.
• Bitcoin and Ethereum see heavy volumes but little upside, as investors rotate into outperforming altcoins and new leaders.
