$907 mln inflows for Ethereum ETF: What about ETH’s price?
- Over $4.37 million AERO were offloaded to exchanges during the rally, indicating short-term profit-taking.
- Sustained upside hinges on Funding Rates flipping positive and continued accumulation pressure from large buyers.
Aerodome Finance [AERO] recorded one of the most significant surges in the market over the past 24 hours, jumping 20% to become the top-performing token for the day.
However, while the surge captured attention, the sustainability of this move remains in question. Some underlying signs point to fragility, despite bullish enthusiasm.
Traders struggle to support AERO momentum
At first glance, the sentiment seems upbeat, of course, but futures market positioning tells a different story.
AERO’s Open Interest Weighted Funding Rate stayed negative during the price spike.
That’s unusual. Because, typically, sharp rallies turn rates positive as longs dominate.

This negative rate suggests AERO’s recent price move wasn’t entirely backed by buyers. Over the past 24 hours, the number of long contracts in the market exceeded those in previous days.
The spot market hasn’t offered much support either.
Exchange Netflow data, which tracks token inflows and outflows across centralized exchanges, highlights this trend.

In the past 48 hours, selling activity increased, with a group of traders offloading a total of $4.37 million worth of AERO into the market.
Still, since the sell-off occurred during an uptrend, it may have been short-lived. That leaves room for bulls to re-enter, should momentum return.
AERO’s strong buying activity…
An analysis of technical indicators tracking accumulation and volume shows notable signs of buying pressure.
Accumulation/Distribution (A/D) metrics flipped hard, improving from -15 million to -6.5 million. That means an $8.5 million net gain, which naturally marked a sharp shift toward accumulation.

At the same time, Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) climbed to 0.29—a strong reading that supports the buying surge.
Together, these two points of analysis highlight strong capital inflows back into AERO, suggesting big players might still be building positions.
Investor confidence jumps but…
At press time, data showed a significant increase in investor confidence, with Community Sentiment jumping to 89%.
This suggests that 89 out of every 100 AERO investors were buyers. Such positive sentiment further boosts the likelihood of continued upward movement.

However, euphoric sentiment without price structure support can sometimes signal exhaustion rather than upside.
Still, if new demand joins in, the trend might just stretch a bit longer.
