The price of $ASTER is still weak, and there are two reasons for this:

First, the overall market truly lacks liquidity.

Second, the current repurchase intensity is still insufficient to absorb the shares unlocked.

If $ASTER is to embark on a meaningful recovery,

Q1 is a good time window.

But if it doesn't pick up during the first quarter,

then this situation will have to be viewed over a longer period:

Wait for substantial progress in L1

Wait for the unlocking pressure to gradually ease

Enter a longer period of consolidation / accumulation phase
