Aster (ASTER) is on the verge of a breakout, with an increment in its value. The token is also showing potential for a strong reversal. Its price has increased by 3.69% over the last 24 hours but is down by 24.32% over the last week.
At the time of writing, ASTER is trading at $1.39 with a market capitalization of $2.37 billion. Moreover, its trading volume has decreased 70.61% to $1.4 billion, underscoring the risk-averse mood across market participants.

A crypto analyst, Drake, highlighted that a whale wallet reportedly linked to former U.S. President Donald Trump has shocked the crypto market by accumulating over $1 billion in ASTER tokens. Despite retail skepticism, the massive move signals institutional confidence as whispers of an upcoming ASTER ETF grow louder. Analysts say this could mark the start of a new bullish phase for the token.
With ETF optimism rising, traders are eyeing the key $3 breakout level, which could trigger a 60–85% surge in one explosive move. The billion-dollar stack has fueled intense speculation, with many wondering what the whale might know. But the market is watching ASTER’s next move closely.

Moreover, the crypto analyst, Crypto Patel, revealed that ASTER crashed nearly 47% within two hours after news broke of Trump’s proposed 100% tariff on Chinese imports, triggering panic across global markets. The sudden sell-off pushed the token down to $1.22, erasing recent gains and shaking investor confidence. Yet, despite the bloodbath, many analysts see this as a prime accumulation zone for long-term holders.

If ASTER is able to maintain its key $1.20 support, a rally back to $5 is imminent, with optimistic estimates even going up to $10–$20 in the long term. The project fundamentals are still in place, and with sentiment across the board calming down, this correction can become the beginning of a great recovery instead of the end of a rally.
The ASTER price chart has a gradual bounce back to $1.4037 following a decline recently. Price has rebounded off the bottom Bollinger Band around $1.10 with resistance at $1.48 near the 20-period SMA. This configuration is indicating a short cover attempt in the near term, yet the overall trend is bearish with the price holding below the middle band.

The RSI rose to 42.38, recovering from oversold levels but still lower than the neutral 50 level, and this suggests minimal buying power. The MACD is also registering an early period of bullish crossover signifying a potential start to bulls dominating the bears. But until the price slips up above the $1.48–$1.55 resistance level, this is simply a temporary move up and not a complete trend change.
