ASTER Rockets 9% as Bitcoin Holds Steady near $104K

Published at 2025-11-12 15:55:34

ASTER jumped nearly 9% in the last 24 hours, leading mid-cap tokens after a period of consolidation and drawing fresh buyer interest. The move helped the token stand out amid otherwise muted activity, and came as Bitcoin held steady around $104,860 — a level that has so far sustained market confidence following recent swings.

Broader altcoin performance was mixed: Ethereum, BNB and Solana posted slight declines while a handful of mid-cap coins posted notable gains. Traders say the rotation into select altcoins matters because it can signal shifting appetite for higher-risk, higher-reward bets; volume and on-chain flows will be key to watch for sustainability. Short-term caution remains warranted given overall market volatility, but ASTER’s climb highlights where attention is moving.
