ASTER price has stabilized around $1.15 after plunging over 50% from its recent peak of $2.30, triggered by a combination of bearish catalysts. The sell-off began with Aster's delisting from DeFiLlama on October 10, 2025, after the analytics platform detected unusual volume correlations with Binance, raising liquidity concerns. Shortly after, a $12 million transfer of 6.1 million ASTER tokens to Binance, believed to be linked to Galaxy Digital, amplified selling pressure.
Further decline occurred when Aster delayed its Phase 2 airdrop from October 14 to October 20 due to data inconsistencies in allocation checks, coinciding with broader market jitters from U.S.–China tariff tensions. Technically, the crash was foreshadowed by a double-top pattern, with the neckline at $1.50 broken, leading to a drop to $1.10 before stabilization. At press time, ASTER attempted to reclaim $1.50 resistance, trading near $1.46; a close above $1.60 could signal recovery toward $2.00, while failure may expose it to further declines toward $0.70.
