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.

Technical analysis shows that the support level for the PI token is $0.1736; the future price action needs to be closely watched.

A whale-led selloff is driving the Bitcoin market, and ETF institutional buy pressure is unable to turn the tide
A CryptoQuant report indicates that as of the end of March, Bitcoin’s “apparent demand” is -63,000 BTC, showing that the market has an oversupply situation, and institutional buying cannot offset retail selling. Starting in mid-2025, the giant whales began large-scale selling, pushing the market into a distribution phase. Although ETF institutional buying has increased, it has not been able to change the weak demand situation, and weakening domestic U.S. demand may further affect the market. Easing geopolitical tensions could become a catalyst for a short-term rebound.

BTC 15-minute drop of 0.73%: Technical support fails and on-chain congestion converges to suppress the rebound
From 2026-04-02 02:00 to 2026-04-02 02:15 (UTC), the BTC price fluctuated within the 66,858.6 - 67,355.0 USDT range. Over the 15 minutes, the return was -0.73%, and the amplitude reached 0.74%. During this period, market attention increased, short-term volatility intensified, and investors’ sentiment clearly shifted toward caution.
The main driving force behind this abnormal move was that the key technical support level of $66,700 was broken, along with the RSI falling below 30, indicating that short-term momentum weakened rapidly and investors’ willingness to sell increased. Additionally, the market sentiment became more cautious, and trading volume showed signs of decline.
