Aster (ASTER) is once again trading at $1.01 after large investors bought up 155 million tokens worth about $155 million. These purchases helped the coin recover after several weeks of pressure and decline.
Despite recent volatility, the $1.00 level remains a key support that investors are clearly willing to defend. Institutional players are returning, bringing with them hope for a continued bullish trend.
Large purchases restore confidence
In the past week, the activity of large holders has sharply increased. According to blockchain data, wallets with balances from 10 to 100 million ASTER increased their positions by more than 154 million tokens. The total amount of purchases exceeded $155 million.
This whale behavior is not just a local spike in interest. It indicates that large investors see current prices as an attractive entry point. Importantly, the accumulation is happening amid market uncertainty—this strengthens the signal of long-term confidence.
Such moves often become a catalyst for price recovery. When institutional money returns to the market, retail investors start acting on the same scenario—buying in anticipation of growth.
Positive signal from Chaikin Money Flow
Along with token accumulation, technical indicators confirm a shift in sentiment. Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) has entered positive territory for the first time in several months. This indicates an increase in liquidity inflow and the start of a new accumulation phase.
The last time CMF showed such values was in mid-summer—before ASTER rose by 20%. If the trend continues, a repeat scenario can be expected. Importantly, the increase in capital inflow is observed not only among large investors but also among medium and small holders.
For the market, this is a sign: money is returning, selling pressure is weakening, and the capitulation phase has likely ended.
Balance between risk and opportunity

Currently, the token is trading around $1.01, staying just above the psychological level of $1.00. This threshold becomes a kind of confidence indicator—as long as the price is above it, buyers have a chance to seize the initiative.
If the trend continues, Aster may test the $1.15–$1.25 levels. A breakout above $1.25 will open the way to a medium-term target of $1.40. But if selling pressure intensifies and the price falls below $0.95, a correction to $0.88 or even $0.80 is possible.
What’s next?
The current recovery does not yet look speculative—real money and the behavior of large players are behind it. If trading volumes remain elevated in the coming weeks, the market may enter a phase of steady accumulation.
It’s too early to talk about a new bull cycle, but fundamental signals are forming in its favor. The key factor will remain support in the $1.00 zone—losing this level will change the picture.
Investors are watching the dynamics of the CMF and spot exchange volumes. If capital inflow continues to grow, Aster may not only hold its ground but become one of the first coins to launch a new wave of growth among altcoins.
