Optimism sparks in AERO derivatives 

CoinGlass data shows that the AERO Open Interest (OI) has increased over 10% in the last 24 hours, reaching $85.92 million. This sudden increase in capital inflow, fueling the active positions of AERO futures and option active contracts, displays a risk-on shift among derivatives traders.

Adding to the increased optimism, the OI-weighted funding rate has flipped positive to 0.0116%, up from -0.0026% earlier on the day. This implies a buy-side dominance as bulls pay the premium to align swap and spot prices.

Aerodrome Finance prepares to lift off, targeting key resistance

Aerodrom edges higher by over 4% so far on Friday, holding above the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement, drawn from the $2.33 high of December 12 to the $0.28 low from April 7, at $1.04. The recovery run targets the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement at $1.48 as the 50-day EMA provided dynamic support, increasing upside chances. 

The technical indicators on the daily chart signal a potential shift in trend momentum. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) shows a declining intensity of the red histogram bars. Sidelined investors could consider the MACD crossing above its signal line as a buy signal, as it will confirm a bullish shift in trend momentum. 

Additionally, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 50 on the same chart remains neutral. If the RSI edges above the halfway line, it will signal a bullish tilt with further room for growth.
