Regarding the trend of Aster, I tend to believe that this is not just a short-term bottom, but a relatively stable stage support level. From a technical perspective, the upward trend on the 4-hour chart remains quite consistent, and this continuity often indicates that the market has not lost its direction.

More importantly, the L1 launch schedule. It is expected that in the first quarter of 2026, the ecosystem will see the launch of the staking mechanism. This is a key catalyst, but currently the hype around the L1 concept has not been fully unleashed, and the market is still waiting for more signals.

In terms of strategy, my advice is very simple — there’s no need to blindly chase highs with long positions, nor to short for rebounds. Patience is required at this stage. In a few weeks, looking back, the market’s reaction will be clearer.

To be honest, most participants in the crypto space end up becoming victims. I’ve been down that road too. Being aware of this now actually puts you ahead of many others. The market’s greatest test is never technical analysis, but mindset and discipline.
