The cryptocurrency market is slightly cooling off after an intense rally, with Bitcoin (BTC) retreating to $119K from its recent all-time high of $124K. This pullback has weighed on most major altcoins — including Astar (ASTR) — which is down around 3% today.

Yet, beneath this short-term weakness lies something far more intriguing: ASTR’s chart is starting to look uncannily similar to a bullish breakout pattern that recently delivered explosive gains for Skale (SKL).

ASTR Mirrors SKL’s Breakout Structure

SKL’s daily chart recently completed a textbook falling wedge — a well-known bullish reversal pattern. The moment SKL broke above the wedge and printed a higher high followed by a higher low, it flipped both the 200-day and 100-day moving averages into solid support. That shift in market structure ignited a 148% rally in just days.

ASTR appears to be walking the same path.

Like SKL, $ASTR has already broken out from its own falling wedge and established a higher high and higher low. Price is now consolidating just beneath a key confluence of resistance — the 200-day MA at $0.02972 and the 100-day MA at $0.02611 — almost identical to SKL’s pre-breakout setup.

What’s Next for ASTR?

For the bullish fractal to fully confirm, ASTR will need to push decisively above both the 200-day and 100-day moving averages, ideally backed by rising volume. A clean breakout here could trigger a fractal-based rally toward $0.050, representing roughly 100% upside from current levels.

However, until that breakout is confirmed, traders should remain patient. The possibility of extended consolidation — or even a false move — can’t be ruled out. Still, given how closely ASTR’s structure is tracking SKL’s historical playbook, the bullish case is hard to dismiss.

If history does indeed rhyme, ASTR bulls might be standing at the edge of a major upward move.
