This indicates that the breakout may be a "fake out," and that the price may rise slightly before pulling back. This chart has a gradually rising movement, so there is a chance of a price explosion if the momentum rises.

However, an important event could have compensated Aster to perform a further consolidation rally: the confirmation by the team on possible buybacks and token burns. These measures might generate scarcity mentality and result in the increase of interest among investors, and further drive the price up.

The price has seen exponential growth and is now the top decentralized perpetual exchange on DefiLlama by fees generated. The platform has also outperformed other major DEXs, like Hyperliquid, in terms of both fees and volume.

As per the latest data from DefiLlama, Aster has generated a humongous $25 million in fees in the last 24 hours, while Hyperliquid has only recorded $3.17 million in fees.

Despite its impressive fee performance, Aster’s token is also experiencing huge trading volumes, hitting $42 billion within just 24 hours. Aster is in first place by a sizable distance, with its closest competitors Hyperliquid and Lighter in second and third place, respectively.

The protocol, sponsored by YZi Labs (previously Binance Labs), is built around multi-chain support, with BNB Chain taking the lead. It was first launched as APX Finance but rebranded after a merger with Astherus in March.

Aster's price has risen to 17% during the last week as a result of the bullish trend. If the positive momentum persists, it is expected to rally to the price of $2, although in the short term, it can even reach the price of $2.2.
