Some time ago, I received a four-figure piece of clothing from a delivery, which should have made me happy. But after looking at ASTER's trend, I fell into deep thought. Calculating the losses, they are enough to buy a bunch of project peripherals. If you say this loss also shows some face.

But don’t laugh. Today, I want to discuss ASTER’s recent true trend from a market perspective. Clothes will eventually go out of style, but catching the market rhythm can save your wallet.

The current situation of ASTER can be described with one word: "bottoms are frustrating." Looking at the K-line, it’s obvious that the price is oscillating within a fixed range. Several attempts to probe lower previously did not create new lows; instead, each dip was met with funds absorbing the sell-off below. This kind of market tests your mentality—like water boiling but never reaching the boiling point, neither letting you despair completely nor giving you a chance to make quick profits. Many people can’t hold on at this stage and sell before dawn, only to regret it afterward.

So, how to tell if this sideways bottom is a true breakout or a false fall? Two signals are key.

**The first is trading volume.** ASTER’s recent trading volume has significantly shrunk, indicating that most chips are no longer moving. Those who want to sell have already sold, and those holding are the steadfast "dead-holders." When the chips are stable enough, the bottom’s resistance to decline will be significantly strengthened.

**The second is the support level.** This range has been tested several times, and each time the price hits a critical point, it bounces back, showing that the support here is quite solid. The probability of new lows appearing is actually quite low.

If both signals are healthy, the likelihood of a true breakout from the bottom will be greatly increased. Of course, the market always has uncertainties, so risk management should always come first.
