ASTER's recent trading activity has increased significantly, with daily average trading volumes remaining above $2 billion and high capital attention. However, the unlocking of 16.5 million coins in mid-April brings short-term selling pressure risks. While the market absorption capacity is decent, it is necessary to stay alert for increased volatility. Technically, the $0.65 support is strong; if the $0.69 resistance level is broken, the price may continue its upward trend in the short to medium term, with pullback attention around $0.66. Uncertainties mainly arise from manipulation allegations and unlock pressure. It is advised to monitor fluctuations during the unlock window in the short term, focus on the strength of the $0.66-$0.69 range in swing trading, and closely follow ecosystem partnership progress and risk control dynamics.

Recent on-chain perpetual platform trading volumes show that ASTER's trading scale has surged to the forefront of the industry. From April 9th to 14th, ASTER ranked second multiple times, with a single-day trading volume exceeding $2.6 billion. Although trading volume moderated over the weekend, the overall daily average remained above $2 billion, indicating high short-term market enthusiasm and sustained capital attention.

On April 9, according to DefiLlama data, the HIP-3 ecosystem project TradeXYZ saw its trading volume double yesterday before declining, with Hyperliquid's total trading volume falling below $10 billion.

In mid-April, around 16.5 million ASTER tokens (valued at approximately $109 million) will be unlocked. Concurrently, concentrated unlocks of various altcoins increase market supply pressure. Looking at the recent daily chart, despite significantly expanded transaction volumes before and after the unlock, prices have not suffered a one-sided collapse, demonstrating the market's certain ability to absorb incremental selling. However, it is still necessary to guard against volatility risks associated with the unlock window in the short term.

According to ChainCatcher and Web3 asset data platform RootData, Aster (ASTER) will unlock approximately 16.467 million tokens worth about 109 million USD at 00:00 Beijing time on April 17.

RootData: ASTER will unlock tokens worth approximately $109 million in one week.

This week will see significant token unlocks across 16 altcoins, including BounceBit, StarkNet, Arbitrum, and Aster, with amounts ranging from $1.09 million to $51.95 million. These unlocks represent varying percentages of each coin's market value, such as 83.35% for STBL and 29% for Yooldo. The schedule spans April 13 to April 19, 2026, reflecting a notable event in the cryptocurrency market amid ongoing geopolitical tensions.

From a daily chart perspective, the $0.65 level has been tested multiple times without breaking, forming a clear support zone. Since April 11th, accompanied by a notable increase in trading volume, the price has repeatedly rebounded from lows and closed at $0.688 on April 16th, reaching a one-month high. If the price can stabilize above the $0.69 resistance, a short- to medium-term uptrend is likely to continue; otherwise, watch for pullback consolidation near $0.66. Overall, with market risk appetite recovering, the technical outlook is bullish.
