Aster Burns 77.86 Million Tokens

Aster made waves today by burning 77.86 million ASTER tokens, worth $79.81 million. This action is the S3 buyback program that has currently taken out of circulation 155.7 million tokens. This is aimed at decreasing the supply and enhancing scarcity, in the long term, benefiting the long-term holders.

Besides the burn, tokens were also transferred to an airdrop-locked wallet. This will further constrain supply and will aid in increasing the value of the token.

Will Aster Price Break Through $1.5 Resistance?

As of the reporting, the ASTER price stands at $1.038, marking a slight decrease of 0.38%. 

In the past four-hour trading window, the Aster price has fluctuated within a key price range, facing resistance at levels of $1.2 and $1.5.

The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) is in the positive arena and stands at 0.13, which is an indication that there is a flow of buying pressure.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) also shows positive momentum. The MACD line is above the signal line, and this can be an indicator of a possible bullish mood.

A potential upside target lies at $1.2 and $1.4. While the downside risk appears to be protected by support at $1.0. These levels will likely dictate the next significant price movement for ASTER.
