Aster (ASTER) has been under continuous pressure since its launch, dropping about 70% from its high of $1.50. Technically, ASTER formed a clear inverted V-shaped top structure near $1.40, with a rapid pullback following a sharp rise, trapping buyers. The price has consistently remained below the 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day moving averages, confirming the continuation of the downtrend. According to the V-shaped top measurement method, ASTER’s neckline is in the $1.04 to $1.05 range. If this support fails, the price could further drop to $0.82, corresponding to the 1.0 Fibonacci extension level. Despite the weak trend, 68% of traders in major CEX perpetual contract markets are still attempting to bottom-fish and go long. However, in the ongoing downtrend, longs are continuously being liquidated. The cumulative net long positions are steadily decreasing, while net short positions remain largely unchanged. This indicates that the current decline is not driven by shorts, but rather by longs being forced to close their positions under pressure, further pushing the price slowly lower.
