Aster Price Forecast: ASTER Eyes $2 After Breaking Short-Term Resistance

Highlights:

• ASTER price has today broken the $1.28 resistance, and with high volumes
• Rally through resistance paves the way for a rally to $2
• Rally driven by airdrop news that comes shortly after the trading competition launch

Aster (ASTER) is in another day of solid gains, even as the broader market continues to sink lower. In the last 24 hours, ASTER has gained by 10% to trade at $1.34. In this same period, Bitcoin has dropped by 4% and is trending towards $90k. This points to a shift in investor sentiment in favor of ASTER as investors see it as a growth cryptocurrency. 

The growing favorable expectations around ASTER are also evident in its trading volumes. In the last 24 hours, ASTER trading volumes have shot up by 17.99% to stand at $1.25 billion. Such a surge in trading volumes points to strong capital flow into ASTER. Despite the increased weakness across the market, ASTER could continue pushing higher. 

Aster Price Rally Continues On Airdrop News

One of the factors that could push ASTER higher is the fact that the ASTER team is ramping up marketing. Recently, they launched a $10 million trading competition that is already pushing up trading volumes in a big way, and by extension, the demand for ASTER.

Hot on the heels of this trading competition, ASTER has announced stage 4 airdrop. The airdrop is set to distribute 1.5% of all ASTER supply, or around 120 million tokens spread across 6 weeks. Through the competition and the airdrop, ASTER is expected to experience stronger liquidity going into 2026. This is also likely to keep FOMO around ASTER going strong, and gives it the chance to rally to new highs in the short term.

CZ Binance Likely Driving Growing Investor Interest In ASTER

ASTER also stands to benefit from the impact of big players taking up positions. Recently, Binance founder CZ announced that he had bought $2 million worth of ASTER and was not looking to sell. Since he made this announcement, ASTER has established a strong floor at around $1 and has been edging higher. This is because CZ has a history of not only founding a highly successful exchange, but also one of the most successful exchange tokens in the market.

BNB went from under a dollar when it launched to its recent highs above $1000. As of 2024, he is estimated to hold around 94 million BNB tokens, or more than 60% of the total supply. Now that he has taken a significant position in ASTER and plans to HODL, investors are excited that they could be holding the next BNB. Besides, ASTER has a burn mechanism just like Binance Coin, which adds to its potential.

Whales Adding to Their ASTER Holdings Excites Market

His move has already triggered multiple other whales to take positions in BNB. In the last 24 hours, a whale bought $1 million USDC worth of ASTER. This has pushed their total ASTER holding to over $3 million. With the influence and power that CZ has in the cryptocurrency space, the odds are high that more whales will take up positions.

The result of this surging demand is that ASTER could touch new highs even as the broader market continues to show weakness. The fact that it is up 10% even after FUD about token unlocks points to a strong underlying demand.

$ASTER WHALE IS LONG AND BUYING MORE

Whale has been holding a long position on ASTER for 38 days and he’s not slowing down.

He just sent 1M $USDC to increase his bags.

He now holds 2.3M ASTER (worth about $2.86M) — and he’s still adding

You don’t ignore it!
