Key Price Levels to Watch
Trader Altcoin Sherpa posted on October 6 that ASTER looks strong in the short term. He noted the token must break above $2.10 before he considers re-entering the trade.
$ASTER strong rebound with spot listing, good to see it. I exited my bag yesterday around $1.88-$1.85. I'm not mad about my decision; I had a preset stop loss region and sold based off the information I had. If price had dumped another 15%, again, I wouldn't have really patted… pic.twitter.com/lPSqYpTwPR

The hourly chart shows multiple rejections at this level recently. Another analyst, TraderSZ, identified resistance levels at $2.14 and $2.43.
His chart marks a weekly high at $2.50. TraderSZ also noted an accumulation band around the mid-$1.90s.
Mid-range support sits at $1.86. This zone could act as a safety net if price dips after failing to hold $2.10.
Captain Faibik shared a breakout structure targeting $3.55. His framework depends on ASTER reclaiming and holding $2.10.

A clean daily close above the $2.50 weekly high would clear prior supply zones. This could open the path toward the $3.00 psychological level.
Whale Activity and On-Chain Data
On-chain tracker Onchain Lens flagged a whale purchase around listing time. The whale bought approximately $6 million in ASTER.
This increased their total holdings to nearly $12.5 million. The entire stack was then transferred to Binance.
Large transfers to exchanges can signal different intentions. They may indicate liquidity-seeking exits or inventory for market-making.
Either way, such moves typically increase trading depth near the spot price. This matters during the price discovery phase after a new listing.
Data Quality Concerns Surface
DefiLlama co-founder 0xngmi announced the platform would delist ASTER perpetual volumes. Internal checks showed the volumes mirrored Binance’s perp volumes unusually closely.
Because ASTER does not expose detailed execution data, DefiLlama could not rule out wash trading. The platform removed the volumes until data integrity can be verified.
0xngmi posted a detailed thread addressing community feedback. He stated the decision was about data quality, not a stance on the token itself.
Trader Crypto Rover alleged that a coordinated FUD campaign was targeting ASTER on October 6. The claims came as the DefiLlama situation developed.
Spot Algo Orders for ASTER pairs launched at 04:30 UTC on listing day. Trading Bots and Spot Copy Trading followed within 24 hours.
Aster announced that Genesis Stage 2 concluded at 23:59 UTC on October 5. Stage 3 launched immediately after with no downtime.
Participants in Stage 2 can check airdrop eligibility on October 10. Token claims open on October 14 with no locking period.
