Even if this does prove to be one of those classic "buy the dip" environments, the real question is: what's actually worth buying right now?
Most altcoins are either breaking down, moving sideways with no conviction, or showing zero signs of sustained momentum. Stepping into assets that are only trending lower feels less like strategic accumulation and more like catching falling knives.
Of these, $ASTER is a rare exception.
It continues to maintain its market structure, retains meaningful activity, has clear catalysts ahead, and—unlike many alts—hasn't suffered a complete breakdown. Among a field of weak, illiquid, and overextended tokens, ASTER still behaves like an asset in preparation for upside once broader conditions stabilize.
If this pullback indeed presents a dip-buying opportunity, ASTER could be one of the few charts worth serious attention.
