$ASTER is quietly reclaiming ground after a sharp shakeout earlier in the session. Price pushed up to 0.986 before sellers slammed it down to the 0.914 area, but that drop didn’t break the structure. Instead, it set the stage for a steady comeback. Now trading around 0.962, ASTER is up 3.44 percent on the day and pressing close to its 24h high again.

What makes this move interesting is the way it unfolded. After the bounce from the lows, ASTER started printing higher lows one by one, showing buyers stepping in with patience rather than urgency. The recovery wasn’t explosive, but it was controlled, and that often speaks louder than a quick spike.

Volume stays healthy with over 36.59M ASTER traded and roughly 34.24M USDT in activity, confirming that the market is engaged during this climb. That kind of participation near the highs usually keeps the chart tense and reactive.

Right now ASTER is sitting right below resistance, and the candles feel like they’re coiling. If buyers keep the pressure on, another test of the upper range could come quickly.
