155 Million ASTER Whale Accumulation Brings Price Back To $1

Aster (ASTER) has experienced a turbulent few weeks, marked by a sharp decline followed by a short-lived recovery. Despite the volatility, the altcoin has managed to hold above the $1.00 threshold, a level that investors appear determined to defend. 

Recent on-chain data shows that this stability is being reinforced by strong whale accumulation, which could help the token regain lost ground.

Aster Investors Back Recovery

Whale investors have become a key driving force behind Aster’s recovery. Wallets holding between 10 million and 100 million ASTER tokens have significantly increased their holdings over the past week. In total, these large investors purchased more than 154 million ASTER, worth approximately $155 million, signaling renewed institutional confidence in the asset.

This accumulation suggests that whales view current price levels as an attractive entry point. Their growing support, especially during a period of uncertainty, reinforces bullish sentiment among smaller investors.

Beyond whale behavior, broader market indicators also suggest improving momentum for Aster. The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator highlights consistent inflows, signaling that capital from all investor groups is moving back into ASTER. This increase in buying pressure supports the notion that the asset may be entering an accumulation phase.

It marks the first time in four weeks that ASTER’s CMF has entered a sustained positive zone, a sign that demand could be reignited across the market. The growing optimism among investors may drive further price appreciation.

ASTER Price Needs To Find A Way

At the time of writing, ASTER is trading at $1.01, holding just above the crucial $1.00 support level. This resilience amid broader market skepticism provides a stable base for potential growth in the near term.

If the buying momentum continues, Aster’s price could rise toward $1.15 and potentially $1.25. Such a move would likely attract additional inflows, helping extend the rally.

However, if investor sentiment weakens and selling pressure builds, ASTER could slip below $0.95 and test lower supports at $0.88 or $0.80. This would invalidate the bullish outlook and delay any sustained recovery.
