$ASTER (Aster) has entered a high-volatility markdown phase as of December 25, 2025, currently trading near $0.70 – $0.83 (approximately ₹63.37). The asset has faced a 25.58% decline over the last seven days and is down roughly 7% today as it retreats from its September 2025 all-time high of $2.42. Despite the launch of "Shield Mode" for private trading and a strategic integration with SIA for perpetual copy-trading, the price remains suppressed by high fully diluted valuation (FDV) concerns and a broader market sentiment of "Extreme Fear".
Technical structure is bearish on the daily timeframe, with the price trending lower within a descending channel and trading below the 50-day moving average ($0.935). A "tug-of-war" is occurring between an aggressive buyback program—burning 2.4M to 77.8M tokens—and the risk of upcoming 2026 unlocks, which will release 8.8% of the total supply. Indicators suggest a "Strong Sell" outlook as the 200-day moving average has been sloping down since mid-December, signaling weak long-term trend strength.
Support and Resistance Levels
Immediate Resistance: A formidable supply wall is established at $0.968 – $1.13, where the 50-day MA and previous structural support now act as overhead resistance.
Secondary Resistance: Stronger structural resistance sits at $1.59, a level that has repeatedly blocked upward attempts.
Immediate Support: The current floor is being tested at $0.763, representing a key pivot point in the descending channel.
Critical Support: A failure to hold $0.649 could trigger a rapid capitulation toward the $0.30 psychological floor as stop-losses are hunted.
The overall trend remains a "sell the rip" scenario as the market waits for the Q1 2026 Aster Chain mainnet launch to prove genuine infrastructure utility.
