Meme coin SPX6900 (SPX) edges higher by over 3% on Wednesday so far to extend the 8.44% gains from the previous day, which could be backed by the rising social chatter around it. The technical outlook maintains a bullish bias as the SPX approaches a breakout from an ascending triangle pattern, accompanied by increased optimism among derivative traders.

As social chatter around the meme coin intensifies, the chances of a hype-driven rally increase. However, investors must remain cautious, as the surge in retail demand has historically served as an exit liquidity for large and early investors.
CoinGlass’ data shows a 23.53% rise in SPX Open Interest (OI) over the last 24 hours, reaching $148.84 million. An OI spike refers to an increase in buying activity in the derivatives market as traders anticipate further gains in the asset.
In alignment with the OI surge, the OI-weighted funding rate flips positive to 0.0056%, suggesting a boost in bullish activity. Traders with bullish positions pay the funding rate, if positive, to sellers to balance the swap and spot prices and vice versa.

SPX appreciates by over 4% on the day, building on the 8.44% rise from the previous day. The meme coin trades above the $1.35 supply zone and is close to marking the breakout of an ascending triangle pattern.
Price action has created an ascending triangle pattern on the 4-hour chart, with a support trendline formed by connecting the bottoms on January 21 and July 1, and the $1.35 zone serving as the upper boundary.
A daily close above the $1.35 zone could propel SPX towards the 78.6% Fibonacci level at $1.56, drawn from the June 11 high of $1.74 to the June 21 low of $0.91.
The technical indicators display a gradual increase in momentum, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 63, approaching the overbought zone. The Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) indicator displays a rising trend, indicated by green histogram bars and the average lines.
