According to @cas_abbe, $ASTER has printed higher highs and higher lows this month while the broader market fell, signaling relative strength for traders to note, source: @cas_abbe on X, Nov 22, 2025. The author attributes this resilience to buybacks, stating Aster DEX purchased nearly 40M ASTER in November and plans to burn about half of those tokens, source: @cas_abbe on X, Nov 22, 2025. The author reports that buybacks have now stopped and are scheduled to resume on December 10, removing a near-term source of demand and raising the risk of a corrective move if market momentum weakens, source: @cas_abbe on X, Nov 22, 2025. The author also states Aster is generating 2.5M-3M dollars in daily fees, which they cite as funding for the next buyback wave and a potential upside catalyst, and they frame any dips before buybacks resume as buying opportunities, source: @cas_abbe on X, Nov 22, 2025.
