After losing $2 support and falling to a low of $1.8, LayerZero [ZRO] made a strong comeback amid a broader market trend reversal. The altcoin successfully defended the $2 level and climbed to a local high of $2.25 at press time, after gaining 23% on the daily charts. Is LayerZero's demand returning?

Now, it seems the trend has reversed. As a result, the altcoin’s Open Interest (OI) surged 31% to $275 million, while the derivatives volume rose 63% to $336 million as of writing. The rising OI alongside volume implied increased market participation and steady capital flow into new positions.
