ASTER Token Soars 30% as Analysts Forecast Further Upside

Jakarta, Pintu News – ASTER token surged another 30% to break the $2 mark, extending its weekly gain to over 2,200%. Crypto market experts think that this is just the beginning of a bigger rally for the DEX altcoin.

With this surge, BNB-based decentralized exchanges (DEXs) are now starting to challenge the position of competitors like Hyperliquid (HYPE). ASTER’s daily trading volume has approached $3 billion, indicating a very strong bullish sentiment.

Experts Predict ASTER Token Rally to Continue

Despite already recording a weekly surge of up to 2,200%, crypto market experts think ASTER’s rally will still continue going forward.

Renowned crypto analyst, Michael van de Poppe, thinks the DEX altcoin is attracting large trading volumes and high volatility, which could be a driving factor for further gains. The rally got stronger after Binance founder Changpeng Zhao also mentioned the altcoin.

Van de Poppe describes the current market conditions as “pure heaven” for traders. He added that small corrections can open up good opportunities for further accumulation. When asked about the next direction, Poppe replied: “Much, much higher, I think.”

He emphasized:

“ASTER is a clear example of what many altcoins will do. That’s why now is the best time to accumulate altcoins. Once they start to take off, you’ll be thankful you’re already in the position. It’s bound to happen.”

Wynn’s Crypto Traders Reap Profits

Meanwhile, controversial crypto trader James Wynn-who previously made huge profits trading HYPE tokens earlier this year-has now opened a long position on ASTER tokens.

On-chain analytics platform Lookonchain reported that James Wynn received $8,032.5 worth of referral rewards before entering into his new position in the market.

According to the report, Wynn went long on ASTER while opening a short position on HYPE. This signals a strategy of betting on the opposite performance between the two tokens.

Challenging Hyperliquid Domination

The ASTER token rally comes as Aster’s decentralized exchange (DEX) begins to challenge the dominance of incumbents like Hyperliquid. In the daily revenue chart, Aster now ranks as the third highest-revenue DEX protocol, outperforming Hyperliquid by 2.5 times.

ASTER is quickly becoming a big player in the crypto market. The token is currently trading at around $2 on its fifth day, with many comparing it to competitor HYPE. Other projects like PancakeSwap (CAKE) also see great opportunities amidst Aster’s rising popularity.

If ASTER follows HYPE’s all-time high, the price could reach $9.69-or potentially 4.8 times the current level.

Interestingly, ASTER has already surpassed HYPE in daily trading volume and daily revenue, despite not yet being listed on Binance Spot. However, crypto exchange KuCoin has just announced:

“Aster is a multi-chain DEX for Spot and Perpetual trading, with MEV-free execution and advanced features such as stock perpetuals, Hidden Orders and grid trading.”

Meanwhile, Hyperliquid’s HYPE token plummeted 18% in the past week amid ASTER’s increasing dominance. In response, DBA Asset Management proposed a plan to cut the total supply of HYPE tokens by more than 45%.

Technically, ASTER’s price started to form a Cup and Handle pattern on the 1-hour chart. Traders are now waiting for confirmation above the $2.10 level. If there is a breakout with strong volume, this could signal a continuation of the uptrend.
