ASTER/USDT Long — October 3, 2025

Go long at 1.9465; suggested tiered take-profits are 2.1801, 2.4331 and 3.1144. Stop: 1.4697.

Market Context

Risk tone: balanced. ASTER in focus.

Context for ASTER: a high-beta L1/L2 narrative token; incentives and listings guide price discovery.

For this setup we focus on structure over slogans: entries around 1.9465 with a hard invalidation near 1.4697. Acceptance above reclaimed supply should transition flows toward mapped resistances; failure to hold the breakout argues for a time-based rebuild instead of chasing wicks.

This pair trades on perpetual futures (.spot/linear) with funding as a positioning tell. Preference is spot-led impulses with flat-to-mild funding; if funding overheats into resistance, step aside and wait for a reset.

Risk playbook (token-specific) for ASTER:

• Hard invalidation: a closing loss of the risk anchor near 1.4697 ends the idea; re-enter only after structure repairs.
• When open interest balloons into a cap, derisk — liquidation cascades cut both ways.
• Cap daily loss at −2R and stop for the day; discipline compounds better than hero trades.
• ASTER tends to overshoot during squeezes; avoid adding above resistance after vertical candles.
