$ASTER is trading near 0.961 after a sharp impulse move followed by a healthy pullback. Price bounced strongly from the support zone around 0.943 to 0.950 which clearly attracted aggressive buyers and flipped short term momentum. This zone now acts as the key defense area. Immediate resistance is visible near 0.971 to 0.977 where price faced rejection earlier. A clean break above this range can shift sentiment quickly. The next target lies around 1.02 followed by 1.08 if momentum expands. $ASTER looks active emotional and ready for continuation if buyers stay in control.
