We tested ProMaster’s latest lighting products, including the groundbreaking Air Support Light Stand and the Ultrasoft US1014RGB LED, a great companion to ProMaster's new stand. Together, they comprise a setup that is fast to deploy, easy to control, and capable of producing beautifully soft, color-accurate light -- a combination that feels purpose-built for hybrid creators who move seamlessly between photo and video work.
The ASTER token is teetering near a critical support level of $1.03-$1.00.
A potential drop below $1 risks triggering further declines to $0.90.
The outlook is despite a buyback plan the Aster team announced on Friday.
Aster DEX, a decentralized exchange backed by YZi Labs and linked to Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao, has unveiled a significant buyback initiative to bolster its native token, ASTER.
Announced earlier today, the plan proposes allocating 70-80% of Season 3 fees toward ASTER buybacks, contingent on market conditions.
However, despite this bold move, market data and technical outlook suggest that ASTER faces substantial risks of dipping below the critical $1 psychological support level.
Aster team plans major token buyback
The ASTER token is currently trading at $1.06, just in the red.
However, the DEX token faces notable selling pressure as has been seen in the past week and month.
On Friday, the cryptocurrency failed to climb despite earlier gains.
Intraday upticks saw the altcoin’s price reject in the $1.12 and $1.15 region, with gains and the subsequent selling pressure coming amid a major ASTER buyback announcement.
Buyback Announcement:
ASTER is currently targeting 70-80% of S3 fees for $ASTER buybacks, exact allocation will depend on market conditions and final results will be released following conclusion of S3.
As a growing project, and in these uncertain market conditions, it’s…
Aster fell amid negative news on Thursday. Today, the token’s price action reflects a fragile market, with technical indicators pointing to potential downside risks.
Notably, Aster has lost over 55% of its value since the peak of $2.42 reached in September.
The rally that saw the exchange platform challenge and even surpass Hyperliquid in volume has dissipated, and the altcoin’s 24-hour trading volume, while robust, has dropped below $800 million.
Market sentiment is further strained amid overall crypto action.
On Friday, following high anticipation, the Bureau of Labor Statistics released the Consumer Price Index inflation for September.
After an initial uptick alongside stocks, Bitcoin and Ethereum as well as most cryptocurrencies showed subdued action.
The US CPI report, which indicated cooling inflation, failed to inspire sustained bullish momentum across the crypto sector.
While the Dow Jones Industrial Average had spiked by over 530 points as of writing, Bitcoin failed to rally above $111,000, and ETH pared gains from near $4,000.
Aster price signalled a similar outlook despite the team’s buyback announcement.
Is ASTER set to dump below $1?
Technical indicators highlight that the current price is at a critical support zone.
A downturn below $1.03 means bears could strengthen in the $0.93-$0.97 region. ASTER could drop to lows of $0.90.
Meanwhile, robust resistance lies in the $1.12-$1.15 zone, with a break to above $1.24 potentially triggering an upward momentum toward $1.52 and then $1.60.
Ticketmaster was dealing with ticket management issues as a result of the outage, according to messages shared by several sports teams hosting games on Monday, including the Toronto Blue Jays and Seattle Seahawks.
The Blue Jays, facing off against the Seattle Mariners in a Game 7 MLB playoff bout at Rogers Centre in Toronto, posted a statement earlier Monday about the outage and advised fans to “hold off on managing your tickets as we work through this.”
A few hours later, the team said ticket management was returning to normal.

The Seahawks, which are hosting the Houston Texans for Monday Night Football in Seattle, issued a statement about the outage “that may impact access to Ticketmaster, Seahawks Account Manager, and the Seahawks Mobile App.”
The outage effects went beyond just ticketing. The Premier League said its VAR tech system, used to determine offside calls in soccer, would not be available for Monday’s match between West Ham and Brentford.
Amazon’s outage began shortly after midnight Pacific in Amazon’s Northern Virginia (US-EAST-1) region, which is AWS’s oldest and largest cloud region, a popular nerve center for online services.
In an initial update, AWS said the outage was related to a DNS resolution issue with its DynamoDB product, meaning the internet’s phone book failed to find the correct address for a database service used by thousands of apps to store and find data.
Amazon later said the root cause of the outage was an “underlying internal subsystem responsible for monitoring the health of our network load balancers.”
By 3 p.m. PT, the company said all AWS services had returned to normal operations.
Major sites and services including Facebook, Snapchat, Coinbase and Amazon itself were impacted — reviving concerns about the internet’s heavy reliance on the cloud giant.
The outage suggests that many sites have not adequately implemented the redundancy needed to quickly fall back to other regions or cloud providers in the event of AWS outages.
MiThe Mitsubishi ASX sold in New Caledonia is not the European model.
Continuing social unrest means New Caledonian new car sales freefall again through September at -23.3% to 2,487 units. Keep in mind the year-ago volume was already off -48.7% on the year prior. Toyota (-41.7%) falls markedly faster than the market, seeing its share reduced to 14%. In contrast Renault (-7.6%) and Suzuki (-13.2%) resist relatively well in context and complete the podium like they did over the Full Year 2024. Hyundai (+1.1%) is the only gainer in the Top 8 and climbs four spots to #4. Dacia (-45.3%) and Peugeot (-30.1%) are hit the hardest below but Mitsubishi (+22.1%) and Subaru (+21.3%) post market-defying surges to close out the Top 10. BAIC (+94.7%), Fiat (+54.2%) and BYD (+15.4%) also impress further down.
Over in the models charts, the Toyota Hilux (-51.6%) stays on top but loses over half its year-ago volume. It is followed this time by the Suzuki Swift (-9.3%) passing the Dacia Duster (-31.5%). The Ford Ranger (+11.8%) is actually up to #4 while the Mitsubishi ASX (+64.5%) and Renault Kangoo (+9.4%) also post year-on-year upticks in the remainder of the Top 10. The Renault Master (-3.4%), Hyundai Tucson (-7.5%) and Suzuki Jimny (-10.3%) resist but the Citroen Berlingo (-28.8%) dives.
