DJIA futures today are trading up 90 points, supported by strong earnings from blue-chip tech components. Momentum indicators point toward short-term bullish continuation, provided the index holds above the 38,400 zone. One market outlier was aster, the native token of its namesake's BNB Chain-based perpetual exchange. ASTER slumped by 6.8% on Wednesday to compound a 25% decline over the past week as hype in the HyperLiquid rival begins to fade. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite rose to new heights on Friday morning. The Dow-linked contracts are up 0.25%, with DJIA futures today supported by balanced trading volumes. Analysts emphasize watching options market delta positioning for clues on short-term volatility.
