LUNA and ASTER, both newly launched tokens on Binance, exhibit distinctly different characteristics in their technical patterns, providing diverse opportunities for traders with different styles.
LUNA's current price is $0.1057, with a relatively healthy RSI indicator at 41.1 for 1 hour, 40.8 for 4 hours, and 46.0 for the daily chart. The daily RSI is close to the neutral zone, indicating that market sentiment is not overly pessimistic. In terms of MACD, the 1-hour histogram is +0.00001, close to the zero axis, with -0.00023 for 4 hours and -0.0059 for the daily chart, showing mixed signals.
LUNA's price is near the lower Bollinger Band at around $0.105, which is a technical support level on the 1-hour chart. The lower band on the 4-hour chart is at $0.102. If the current price level is maintained, there is theoretically room for a rebound towards the middle band. The moving average system shows the price is below EMA12 at $0.106, EMA26 at $0.108, and SMA50 at $0.110.
The futures open interest is $12,700,000, down 2.89% in 24 hours. OKX's funding rate is -0.047%, indicating strong short selling pressure. Liquidation data shows that longs have a risk of $4,000 at $0.1044, while shorts have a risk of $6,400 at $0.1098. This relatively balanced distribution suggests that the price may oscillate within this range.
In contrast, ASTER's technicals are weaker, with a current price of $0.677. The RSI indicator is deeply oversold at 41.2 for 1 hour, 34.3 for 4 hours, and only 29.9 for the daily chart. The daily RSI below 30 is a severe oversold signal. The MACD histogram is entirely negative, with -0.0008 for 1 hour, -0.0010 for 4 hours, and -0.011 for the daily chart, indicating strong bearish momentum.
ASTER's price is approaching the lower Bollinger Band at $0.670 for 1 hour and $0.669 for 4 hours. The moving average system is fully suppressive, with prices below EMA12 at $0.682, EMA26 at $0.688, and SMA50 at $0.698. This weak structure is difficult to reverse in the short term.
The futures open interest is $357,000,000, significantly larger than LUNA's, down 4.15% in 24 hours, marking the largest decline among the three tokens. However, Binance's funding rate is +0.005%, indicating that shorts are paying fees to longs. This positive rate occurring during a price drop is relatively rare and may suggest a significant number of shorts are building positions or longs are bottom-fishing against the trend.
ASTER's liquidation data is more extreme, with longs facing a cumulative liquidation risk of $204,000 between $0.666 and $0.670, while shorts only have $7,000 at $0.675. If the price drops below $0.666, it will trigger large-scale liquidations, potentially accelerating the decline. However, if it holds, the severely oversold RSI suggests that there may be greater rebound potential.
