XLM shows bullish momentum with breakout above key resistance
Stellar (XLM/USDT) gained nearly 7% in the last 24 hours, pushing its price to $0.40 as bulls drove the token out of a prolonged falling wedge pattern. The breakout has sparked optimism among traders who see this as a potential start of a larger bullish reversal.
The daily chart reveals that XLM had been consolidating within a downward-sloping wedge since mid-July, with strong support holding near the $0.35 demand zone. After weeks of sideways trading, buyers stepped in aggressively, leading to a breakout above the wedge’s upper trendline.
According to BITX analysts, “A falling wedge typically signals a bullish reversal. With XLM now breaking higher, the next immediate target sits around $0.43 to $0.45, where supply pressure is likely to emerge.”
The first major resistance lies near $0.45, marked by a previous supply block, while stronger resistance can be found around $0.48–$0.50. On the downside, the $0.37–$0.35 range remains critical support, where buyers have consistently defended against deeper declines.
Volume and Market Sentiment
Trading volume surged alongside the breakout, highlighting growing participation from bulls. This suggests that market sentiment is shifting in favor of Stellar after weeks of downward pressure.
One of BITX market strategist noted, “The surge in volume is encouraging. As long as Stellar holds above $0.37, the breakout could sustain momentum and test higher resistance zones.”
In the short term, maintaining price above the breakout level of $0.39–$0.40 is key for confirming bullish continuation. If XLM closes decisively above $0.45, it could pave the way toward $0.50, which would represent the strongest resistance in months.
For now, Stellar’s 7% surge reinforces the bullish case, giving traders a potential signal of trend reversal after a period of decline. However, a failure to hold above $0.39 could see the token slip back into consolidation.
