ASTER Rockets 8% Daily, BTC Price Calms at $104K: Market Watch
ASTER jumped roughly 8% on the day, outpacing most peers as traders picked up momentum in select mid-cap altcoins. Bitcoin traded calmly around $104,000, a level that has so far absorbed selling pressure and helped reduce intraday volatility across futures and spot markets. Meanwhile, TRUMP was the worst performer in the reported window, slipping more than other tokens and signaling a short-term shift in investor attention.
The move matters because BTC’s relative stability can encourage risk-on flows into altcoins like ASTER, but it also raises the bar for sustainable rallies — gains will need follow-through in volume or positive catalysts. Short-term traders may find opportunities in momentum, while longer-term holders should watch whether ASTER’s rise is supported by fundamentals or a transient market rotation.
