The crypto market is flashing red today with Avalanche (AVAX), Pump.fun (PUMP), and Aster (ASTR) prices fall, reversing great rallies in the first part of the month. Although wider volatility is depressing the altcoins, pullbacks are also being determined by project factors. All these assets have distinct indications in the charts, while the overall selling pressure in the market is a sign of weak sentiment.
Avalanche is down following a steep rise to the value of $36.50 before the price fell to about $31.05. The Bollinger Bands indicate increased volatility, with support at $30. Further, the RSI has already broken out of the overbought, but the indicator is above 60, indicating further correction should the bulls fail to hold important levels. A fall below 30 might be followed by a further fall to 28; however, a recovery above 33 would resume the trend.

Meanwhile, ASTER had fallen after surging to $2.30, back to the level of $1.97. The token broke down from a rising wedge pattern, though without hitting the defensive territory in the $1.93-1.97 price range. StochRSI is already oversold, and the MACD showed an indication of a bullish crossover. This structure highlights that the current weakness will be replaced by a rebound if volume goes up and the support level of $2 is held.

PUMP has suffered the greatest downtrend as it fell by 35% within 11 days from its ATH. The token is stuck in a falling triangle where selling pressure is dominant on the 4-hour chart. The Supertrend has inverted, and RSI has been sliding deeper. Once the support around $0.0052 is broken, it could be followed by the levels $0.0048 and $0.0039 support. Nevertheless, any potential recovery is still pivoted at the $0.0056 resistance.

AVAX is reversing its direction in the wake of heavy token outflows, with $1.45 million moving out of exchanges on September 24. Although adoption of subnets is rising, coupled with a rise in the RWA traction, there is a delay in ETF approvals, deterring sentiment in the near term.
Additionally, the dip by ASTR comes after a sharp climb, while fundamentals are intact, and traders perceive that the correction is healthy. The slide of PUMP is, however, associated with liquidity moving out of Solana memecoins as investors rush to Binance-related products like ASTER and Hemi.
Avalanche remains institutionally focused, with subnet growth indicating long-term demand. Meanwhile, Aster is growing with good community support and integrations that favor real-world implementation. In addition, Pump.fun's setback is a flight of liquidity since the migration to the Binance ecosystem emphasizes the vulnerability of demand for meme tokens.
In the near term, AVAX could rebuild bullish success should $30 support, but potential risks are towards the lower end of $28. ASTR has a chance of rebounding to $2.40 and even new highs should there be a buyer intervention.
Meanwhile, PUMP has the most challenging path to follow, and a downward trend is probable unless liquidity is injected. In the short term, these amendments reveal that rallies of momentum are susceptible to rapid losses in a fluctuating market.
