As a Chicago-based crypto analyst with a knack for decoding market chaos, I tracked AST’s wild price swings across four snapshots—volatility spiked to 25.3%, trading volume surged past 108K, and liquidity flipped in real-time. This isn’t just noise—it’s a silent signal. I break down the data, not the hype. If you’re watching AST, you’re not gambling—you’re analyzing patterns only the coldly rational see.
