Shares of AST SpaceMobile rose 2.54% to $61.44 but technical signals remain bearish with an expected range of $56.7 to $66.18.

Network expansion and ground station deal fuel investor optimism

AST SpaceMobile has expanded its satellite network through the deployment of new BlueBird satellites, directly enhancing its operational coverage and capacity. According to Congress, this development is complemented by partner 2degrees' recent launch of a Marton Satellite Ground Station in New Zealand, which supports the expansion of both satellite and ground infrastructure. Together, these moves highlight AST SpaceMobile’s ongoing efforts to improve its service quality and broaden its geographic reach, underpinning the current positive sentiment in the stock.

Weak momentum persists despite buyer dominance and defined ranges

On the technical front, ASTS trades above its MA-20 but remains capped below the MA-50 and MA-200 levels. Immediate resistance is set at the Ichimoku Kijun level of $62.29, with key support at $56.7. Both MACD and ADX point to persistent selling pressure, while Stoch RSI indicates overbought conditions and RSI at 45.58 suggests a moderate downside bias. Despite weak momentum signals, Bull/Bear Power shows strong intraday buyer dominance, and both the CCI and Awesome Oscillator remain neutral, showing no clear trend confirmation.

Direction hinges on breakout from volatile trading corridor

In the short term, ASTS is expected to fluctuate in the $56.7–$66.18 band, with a slight downside tilt (48% probability to the upside, 52% to the downside). The baseline expectation is for the price to remain in a sideways corridor defined by these bounds. A clear move above $62.29 would open the door to a bullish scenario, while a decisive break below $56.7 could trigger a deeper correction. Near-term outlooks hinge on any follow-through beyond these technical thresholds given current volatility.

Anton Kharitonov, Traders Union expert, notes that recent infrastructure developments have driven positive sentiment around AST SpaceMobile, but technical signals remain mixed. He sees the price capped beneath key moving averages and persistent selling pressure despite strong intraday buyer activity. Kharitonov remains cautious unless $62.29 is reclaimed decisively. "Base case remains rangebound — if $56.7 fails, expect downside to accelerate."

Earlier, analysts noted that AST SpaceMobile faced downside pressure due to operational and deployment risks despite making progress with its satellite platform. The current technical setup adds a new dimension, as the stock is now testing resistance near $62.29—traders should monitor for a break above this level as a potential catalyst for a near-term directional move.
