The latest gains, driven by the network upgrade news, sees the futures open interest spike to over $68,000 while volume has jumped well over $430,000. Analysts look at rising open interest as a signal of growing demand. It suggests another leg up is likely. However, with factors such as profit taking and overall market conditions to consider, there’s the possibility that a negative flip could be inbound. The token’s dip into overbought territory and the long downtrend that came with it means spiking to multi-month peaks offer an opportunity for sellers. If bulls continue into the June 3, 2025 upgrade, the next target will be $0.075 and $0.1. On the downside, support could be around $0.036 and $0.022.
