Aster (ASTER) To Rise Higher? Key Harmonic Pattern Signals Potential Upside Move

CoinsProbe
ASTER-2,5%
BTC-2,12%
ETH-4,19%


Key Takeaways

  • ASTER rebounds strongly, gaining nearly 10% as the broader crypto market recovers, with price holding above key support near $0.55.

  • Harmonic structure remains bullish in the short term, with the Bearish Shark pattern allowing upside continuation toward resistance.

  • A breakout above $0.687 (50-day MA) could open the path toward the $0.828 target, while failure to hold support may invalidate the setup.


The broader cryptocurrency market is showing signs of relief today after a sharp sell-off earlier this week. Bitcoin (BTC) briefly dipped to the $74,000 region before staging a rebound above $78,000, gaining nearly 3% on the day. Ethereum (ETH) has also followed suit, climbing around 4.4% in the past 24 hours.

Amid this recovery, several altcoins have turned green, including the decentralized exchange (DEX) token Aster (ASTER). The token has surged over 8%, trimming its monthly losses to around 21%. More importantly, ASTER’s price action is now flashing a familiar technical setup that hints at further upside potential.

Technical Patterns Hint at Upside Momentum

From a technical perspective, ASTER’s daily chart reveals the formation of a Bearish Shark harmonic pattern, a widely tracked structure in harmonic trading. While the pattern is traditionally associated with a possible reversal once fully completed, it often allows for short-term bullish continuation as price advances toward the C-point.

As seen on the chart, the O-X-A-B structure has already been completed, with price finding support near the B-point around the $0.55 region. ASTER is currently trading near $0.584, showing early signs of stabilization after the recent sell-off.

The immediate hurdle for bulls remains the 50-day moving average, positioned around $0.687. This level has acted as a dynamic resistance in recent weeks, capping upside attempts and triggering pullbacks.

What’s Next for ASTER?

A decisive daily close above the 50-day MA ($0.687) would be a key technical signal, strengthening the short-term recovery narrative. Such a breakout could attract fresh momentum buyers and set the stage for a broader upside move.

If bullish momentum sustains, the harmonic projection points toward the C-point near $0.828, which aligns with the 1.13 Fibonacci extension of the Shark pattern. This level represents a potential upside target in the coming sessions, provided overall market sentiment remains supportive.

Despite the improving technical picture, downside risks have not disappeared. A failure to hold the B-point support zone could invalidate the bullish continuation scenario. In that case, ASTER may enter a period of extended consolidation or face renewed downside pressure before any meaningful recovery attempt.
