Aster price sluggish at $1.00 as bullish volume fades

Aster’s price is struggling to maintain momentum at the key $1.00 support level, with weakening volume raising the risk of a deeper correction if buyers fail to step in.

Aster (ASTR) price shows a clear sign of exhaustion as bullish strength fades and bearish pressure increases. After losing the value area high at $1.22, the token has slipped back below the point of control and is now consolidating directly above a major high-time-frame (HTF) support at $1.00.

This level has served as a critical zone for several weeks, but repeated retests have weakened the structure and raised questions about whether bulls can defend it for much longer.

Aster price key technical points

• Repeated tests of the $1.00 HTF support suggest weakening buyer strength
• Loss of the point of control shows fading bullish momentum
• Break below $1.00 may trigger an accelerated drop toward $0.88 HTF support

Recent price action on Aster has shifted firmly into a corrective phase following the failure to hold the $1.22 value area high. The rejection at that level signaled the end of the short-lived bullish trend, with the token quickly reverting below the point of control, a sign that market participants are showing reduced interest at these price levels.

The $1.00 support has now become the last line of defense for bulls. However, with each retest, this level becomes structurally weaker, increasing the probability of a breakdown. The absence of meaningful bullish volume further adds to the concern, as strong volume influxes are typically required to sustain any bullish momentum or prevent structural failures at major support zones.

If price closes below the $1.00 level on higher timeframes, the next major support sits at $0.88, which aligns with previous accumulation zones and offers a technically sound target for a deeper correction. Such a move would continue the broader bearish trend Aster has been following since losing its mid-range structure.

What to expect in the coming price action

If Aster fails to regain control of the point within the next few days, the likelihood of a breakdown from $1.00 increases significantly. A clean reclaim, however, supported by more substantial volume, would be required to reverse short-term bearish momentum and attempt another rotation back toward the $1.22 resistance.
