Astar crypto extended its move southwards on Monday, slumping near the weekly lows. The crypto started the week in red and was hovering near $0.158 reporting a negative development of 2.6% at the time of writing.
Moreover, the daily chart shows that the crypto has been in a free fall in the last couple of weeks and has closed in the red for most of the sessions. The recent fall has dragged the price below the 20 and 50-Day EMAs indicating the initiation of a short-term correction phase.
On the lower side, the $0.15 level may act as the recent support zone and try to halt the further downward momentum in the price. Fresh downside movies may be observed if the crypto breaks below the $0.15 level. It may drag the price to the lower support levels of $0.13 and $0.11 level.
Now, for the buyers to regain control over the trend, the price needs to consolidate at the lower levels and surpass the 50-Day EMA on the higher side. Earlier, the crypto reversed its course near the $0.05 level and turned bullish in October 2023. The price then surged higher taking support from the 20 and 50-Day EMAs, thus gaining nearly 300% by January 2024.
Since then, the crypto has been giving confirmed signs of weakness as the price plunged from a key supply level of around $0.20000 on the chart. Now it seems like the ASTR/USD crypto is close to a huge drop, as it reaches the resistance level and aims to fall to new depths from the current supply zone.
Will ASTR Crypto Plunge Soon?
Furthermore, the Astar crypto asset is showing strong bearish signs as MACD shows a bearish cross with a strong histogram. The MACD line is at -0.0030020, the signal line is at -0.0012711, and the histogram is at -0.001732.
The RSI is below the 50 level at 43 and has taken strong rejection from the 14 SMA, indicating that the ASTR/USD asset is still in a bearish zone and could go lower until it reaches the extreme oversold territory.
In addition, the asset is displaying bearish characteristics and could fall further in the coming sessions. It has shown bad performance in the past week, and month by 5.55%, and 12.91% respectively, indicating a consistent downward trend.
At the time of publishing, the ASTAR Token is trading at $0.16289 with an intraday decline of 1.78%, with an average trading volume on all trading exchanges for the past 24 hours is 35.69 Million. Its market capitalization is 906.17 Million.
Therefore, if the ASTR/USD fails to hold on the the $0.15000 level, it could fall abruptly or could show a short-term correction in the process as well.
But, another possibility would be, that if Astor somehow succeeds in managing to hold on to the current level it could blast off to new levels by surpassing the supply region and could approach toward the new goal at $0.250000.
Summary
The price action shows that the price was in an uptrend earlier and in the last couple of sessions, ASTR/USD violated the uptrend. It could initiate a short-term correction in the upcoming sessions. The technical indicators are showing the same on the chart amid strong bearish signs.
