ASTER has successfully reversed its short-term downtrend, signaling renewed buying momentum. The development team continues aggressive capital allocation, executing $400K-$500K in daily token buybacks—a strong show of confidence in the project's fundamentals.



On-chain metrics paint an equally bullish picture. ASTER consistently ranks in the top 2 perpetual futures protocols by trading volume, reflecting strong derivative market interest and healthy liquidity conditions.

Looking ahead, the project has a significant catalyst on the horizon: Aster L1 mainnet launch is targeted for Q1 2026. This milestone could unlock substantial value as the platform transitions to independent mainnet infrastructure.

Technically, the $0.7-$0.72 support level remains critical to watch. Holding above this range would confirm the bullish breakout narrative.

Daily buyback of 400,000-500,000? This pace is impressive, not afraid of crashing the market... But the mainnet launching in Q1 is definitely a highlight; we'll see how it performs then. If the 0.7 key level isn't broken, there's still hope. The title of top liquidity protocol sounds good, but I'm worried it's just a numbers game. Waiting for the mainnet to launch before making a move; right now, it's all expectations. If it's really relying on buybacks to support the market, what does that say... Being in the top 2 for derivatives trading volume sounds impressive, but I'm afraid of inflated liquidity. This wave of market manipulation before the mainnet launch feels like the same old tricks. Let's see if this support level can hold; if it breaks, we'll know how fake it is. Q1, still more than half a year to go; who knows what surprises might come in the meantime.

Daily buybacks of 400,000 to 500,000, this kind of move is really bold, indicating the team is very optimistic. --- Mainnet launch in Q1 2026... still over a year away, can it rise in the short term? --- Must hold at this 0.7 level, breaking it would be disastrous. --- Top 2 in trading volume, liquidity is no problem, this is a plus. --- It's "substantial value" again, I've heard this phrase so many times, but it still depends on whether it can actually go live. --- Such a large buyback effort, either they are truly confident or they are bottoming out. --- Mainnet launch is definitely a highlight, just worried about another delay.

Wait, burning 400-500K daily buyback? How confident must they be? I just want to know if the mainnet can really launch as scheduled in Q1. --- Always waiting for the mainnet launch, it feels like Web3 is waiting for some mainnet launch lol. --- If the 0.7 support level can't hold, I'll just liquidate directly. Don't tell me about bullish narratives. --- Top 2 in trading volume is true, but that doesn't say much... it has little to do with actual demand. --- Such aggressive buyback, it shows the team is scared haha. --- I'm only concerned whether it can really launch in Q1, don't want another delay. --- It looks okay, but don't be too optimistic before the mainnet.

Daily repurchase of 400,000 to 500,000, this scale is indeed generous. I'm just worried it's all talk on paper; only real money invested counts. But does the L1 mainnet really have to wait until Q1 2026? That's too far away. Can the market wait that long? Has 0.7 held as support? That's the key, everything else is nonsense. Perpetual contract trading volume ranks second, indicating genuine demand, not just hot air. Honestly, now it's just about whether it can break through the previous high. No more nonsense, let's see how it performs later.

Daily repurchases of 400,000 to 500,000, this team is really going all out... Whether the mainnet launch in Q1 2026 can withstand the pressure is the key. --- $0.72 is a hurdle that must be held, or it will be another rebound drama. --- Perpetual contract trading volume top 2? Just hearing these numbers feels really good... Liquidity is indeed unmatched. --- They are throwing so much money into buybacks and still boasting, feels a bit too eager? --- Waiting to see the Q1 mainnet launch. If it weren’t for this expectation, I would have already left. --- I’ve never believed in bullish narratives, just watching if $0.7 can hold. --- On-chain data is indeed impressive, but market sentiment can change in an instant...
