#数字货币市场洞察 ASTER's recent moves are a bit unusual: they just burned $80 million worth of tokens and launched the S4 buyback early—objectively, that's as bullish as it gets. But instead of the price going up, it's dropped and is now stuck flat in the Bollinger Band—seasoned traders know this ultra-compressed pattern all too well: it's the calm before the storm.

Recent numbers: current price is $1.03, down 2.7% in 24 hours, grinding back and forth between $0.90 and $1.12 over the past week. Compared to the $2.41 high back in September, it's not just cut in half—it's down 57%.

More importantly, market sentiment is shifting:
Spot trading volume dropped 18.5% to just $274 million
Derivatives volume also down 19.27%
Open interest shrank slightly by 3.4%
→ Clearly, people are moving from actively trading to watching from the sidelines.

Technical indicators back this up as well. The Bollinger Bands are tightening, price keeps getting pushed back at the middle band, RSI is hovering in the middle, MACD is flashing bearish—bulls have no strength. In the short term, if volume picks up and the price holds above $1.06, there might be a shot at $1.09 or even $1.12; but if $1.03 can't hold, $0.98 to $0.94 is likely next.

Bottom line: supply is shrinking, volatility is narrowing, and energy is building up. A breakout is coming—it’s just a matter of who blinks first.
