Aster (ASTER) surged to $0.74, marking a 5% daily gain, as 24-hour trading volume spiked by 300% to $256 million. The rally aligns with a broader capital rotation into altcoins, particularly those focused on perpetual derivatives. Despite a slight pullback to $0.70, the surge highlights renewed speculative interest in niche markets. The price movement comes as Hyperliquid's HYPE token also saw significant gains, reaching an all-time high above $62. Aster's recent addition of a SpaceX pre-IPO perpetual contract with up to 5x leverage may have further fueled speculative inflows. For continued upward momentum, ASTER bulls need to push the price above the $0.75 resistance level, while a drop below $0.65 could trigger renewed selling pressure.
