Highlights

  • Aster allocates 80% of fees to buybacks starting December 23.
  • Bullish breakout confirmation is at critical resistance of $0.80.
  • Technical indicators crossover indicates the formation of early bullish momentum.

Aster price hovered above $0.70 following a 2.67% daily gain, supported by a bullish market trend. The move follows the launch of Phase 5 of Aster’s buyback program, which allocates up to 80% of platform fees to repurchases.

Aster Price Eyes Bullish Surge as Phase 5 Buyback Begins December 23

Aster has announced the launch of Phase 5 of its ASTER buyback program, set to begin on December 23, 2025. 

The program will deposit up to 80% of the daily commissions on the platform towards the purchase of ASTER tokens.

The plan will have 40%  of the daily fees allocated to auto on-chain buybacks. This will be done on a daily basis with a specific wallet to make sure that prices do not fall and the supply is also reduced gradually.

The 20% to 40%  will be left to strategic buybacks that will be prompted by certain market conditions.

Strategic Wallet Enables Targeted Market Support

The strategic buyback reserve offers Aster with the leeway to act in reaction to price volatility and in the short term market changes. 

This share will be issued on demand, which will leave the protocol with space to regulate the liquidity and safeguard the token value.

Buyback wallets are both publicly verifiable and on-chain. To ensure transparency, Aster has committed to providing reports on progress. 

The program is a step towards systematic enhancement of tokenomics of ASTER and the creation of community value in the long term.

Aster Price Holds, Eyes Key Breakout

The Aster price hovered around $0.714 on December 22, showing signs of consolidation after a steep downtrend.

Aster price still experiences a downward pressure below significant resistance at $0.80 despite recent stabilization.

An upward explosion beyond this would give way to a push up to $0.9 and even to $1.0. The price is capped within a limited range until that time, without a strong bullish momentum.

On the support side, the zone of $0.7 is an immediate floor. If sellers regain control, Aster price could drop toward $0.650 or even $0.6, where previous buying interest was observed.

The RSI is at 44.39, and it remains below the neutral 50 point, which indicates that there is not much bullish action.

In the meantime, the MACD line has penetrated the signal line, yet the histogram is shallow green bars, signifying early, but weak, bullish divergence.
