XLM Price Drops Toward Support Zone as Market Correction Deepens
Stellar (XLM) saw a sharp pullback in late trading after briefly stabilizing near the $0.33 level, reflecting renewed market volatility that has swept across the broader crypto landscape. The token, which had recently rallied following key institutional developments within the Stellar ecosystem, has now fallen back into a critical support range — testing the patience of traders who anticipated a sustained breakout.
After several weeks of sideways consolidation, XLM has declined toward the $0.31–$0.33 zone, a region identified as short-term support. Technical charts indicate that Stellar broke out of a descending channel earlier this year, rallying nearly 70% before encountering heavy resistance near $0.50. Since then, a clear rejection pattern has formed, with the price now revisiting the green demand zone highlighted on the chart.
According to market analysts, failure to hold above $0.31 could open the door for a retest of the lower support band near $0.23–$0.25, which coincides with the base of previous accumulation phases. “We’re seeing traders de-risking across altcoins,” According to BITX market strategist. “Despite Stellar’s fundamental progress, technical structures suggest that momentum has shifted back to the downside in the near term.”
Institutional News Overshadowed by Market Conditions
The latest downturn comes despite positive developments surrounding Stellar’s growing role in cross-border payments and tokenization partnerships. Earlier this month, reports indicated increased institutional participation in Stellar-based projects, signaling expanding adoption potential. However, this has done little to offset the broader market correction driven by uncertainty in Bitcoin’s price action and rising risk aversion among investors.
Volume data shows 7.67 million XLM traded within 24 hours, with elevated selling activity suggesting continued pressure. BITX Analysts caution that a daily close below $0.30 could signal a more prolonged retracement phase.
For now, the $0.31 support zone remains pivotal. A rebound from this level could trigger a short-term recovery toward $0.37–$0.40, aligning with the upper green resistance range. Conversely, losing this level might confirm a bearish continuation pattern, extending Stellar’s correction into November.
