Based on the current price action, if ASTER closes a daily candle above the pattern, it could rally by the length of the pole, suggesting a potential 95% gain that could push the asset to the $3.50 level.

However, this bullish thesis will remain valid only if it holds above the $1.80 level, otherwise, the bullish outlook will be invalidated.

At press time, technical indicators, including the Supertrend and Average Directional Index (ADX), are flashing bearish signals. On the four-hour chart, ASTER’s Supertrend remains red and is positioned above the asset price, indicating a downtrend. Meanwhile, the ADX value stands at 16.33, suggesting weak trend strength.
