The Solana-based meme coin market capitalization has jumped 6% over the last 24 hours, reaching $14.64 billion, leading the broader cryptocurrency market's recovery. Fartcoin (FARTCOIN) and SPX6900 (SPX), which edged lower after double-digit gains on Wednesday, are among the top performers. Both the derivative data and technical outlook indicate a bullish bias as open interest reaches record high levels and trend momentum increases.
Open Interest (OI) refers to the total value of open perpetual derivative contracts, serving as a direct indicator of traders’ interest.
CoinGlass’ data shows that the Fartcoin Open Interest reached a new all-time high of $1.05 billion, up from $802.60 million on Wednesday. The SPX OI also hits a record high of $200 million.

The increasing OI suggests a boost in traders’ interest as the meme coins scale to new swing highs.
Fartcoin edges lower by 5% at press time on Thursday following a 16% surge on the previous day. The meme coin holds dominion over the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the $1 psychological level.
Fartcoin nears the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level at $1.56, drawn from the $2.74 peak of January 19 to the low of $0.19 from March 10. A potential daily close above this level could extend the bullish run to the $2.00 round figure.
The Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) indicator shows a positive trend in MACD and its signal line. Still, the fluctuating green histogram bars suggest increased volatility in trend momentum.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 59, indicating a gradual increase in bullish momentum as it surpasses the midpoint. The RSI indicates room for growth before reaching overbought conditions.

On the other hand, a reversal from the $1.56 resistance, which has remained intact since January 19, could test the 50-day EMA at $1.16.
SPX edges lower by nearly 1% so far on Thursday after reaching a new all-time high of $1.91 with a 12% jump on Wednesday. The meme coin struggles to manage a daily close above the $1.80 level, aligning with the previous all-time high.
A decisive push above $1.80 could stretch the uptrend to the $2.00 round figure, followed by the 1.272 Fibonacci level at $2.22, retraced from the $1.80 high of January 19 to the March 11 low of $0.25.
The momentum indicator maintains a bullish bias, similar to Fartcoin, with the RSI crossing above the halfway line to 67. Meanwhile, the MACD provides a mixed signal, characterized by fluctuating green histogram bars.
