Chainlink Integration Enhances Solana’s DeFi Capabilities
Chainlink’s Data Streams integration on Solana provides low-latency, pull-based data access to DeFi applications to increase transaction precision and functionality within Solana’s ecosystem.
The integration outlines that Chainlink Data Streams will provide the ability to retrieve market data on demand, unlike typical push-based oracles, while ensuring data integrity with a cryptographic signature and without needlessly having on-chain updates.

Solana developers are able to develop faster, more accurate financial products by the provision of access to real-time data and decentralized, fault-tolerant infrastructure for high-frequency consumers.
Chainlink will partner with GMX_SOL to bring new use cases on Solana with the pull-based Oracle model of Chainlink Data Streams, including perpetual futures, options, and prediction markets.
Additionally, with liquidity-weighted pricing and up-to-the-second updates, developers can replicate their trading logic and advanced risk management in a decentralized environment, standing toe to toe with centralized exchanges in performance.
Chainlink keeps Solana’s DeFi landscape robust with its dependable multi-site deployment setup; it also pumps up its capacity as the go-to high-performance blockchain for decentralized applications.
Solana Eyes $220 Amid Breakout
Recently, Solana broke out of an ascending triangle pattern, a bullish form of pattern where the price is making higher lows against a horizontal resistance level.
The token is targeting $220 following a successful breakout and retest. This breakout pattern sends signals of strong upward momentum; if SOL breaks $190, the rally will be confirmed.
Momentum indicators show bullish momentum for Solana; the Relative Strength Index is at 67 reflecting a strong buying strength that is close to the overbought territory of 70.
Just as support of this trend is the Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), with the 50-day EMA high above the 100-day EMA indicating upward momentum.
In addition, the Money Flow Index (MFI) is over 82.4, which is a high sign for extremely high interest in purchasing, but the money flow overbought sign may mean a reversal or consolidation. If buying pressure continues, these upward indicators may lead even higher as this uptrend continues.
Mixed Sentiment for Solana

Funding Rate Hits 0.015% as SOL Climbs to $180
We have seen Solana’s price surge up from $168 to $180 over the past two days, along with an increase in the OI-weighted funding rate to 0.015%.
OI Weighted Funding Rate is the cost of being long to being short in the perpetual futures contracts, with a positive number meaning that it’s expensive to be long compared to short.
The positive funding rate reveals that there is a lot of keen demand; traders are willing to pay a premium to keep long positions, which is a strong indication of sustained bullish sentiment.
