XLM volumes crossed $3 billion over the last 24 hours, breaking into the top ten traded assets ahead of larger-sized layer-1 rivals including Binance’s BNB $691.7 24h volatility: 0.1% Market cap: $100.88 B Vol. 24h: $1.83 B and Dogecoin DOGE $0.20 24h volatility: 0.7% Market cap: $29.95 B Vol. 24h: $8.01 B with $2.6 billion and $2.2 billion intraday demand respectively.
While Bitcoin price stagnates at $120,000 for the next directional move, the intraday market flows XLM confirms that it remains in high demand. Despite triple-digit gains in the last seven days, long upper shadow and high-ranking trading volumes suggest XLM price could be poised for more upside, if the BTC rally advances in the days ahead
XLM has rallied 110% in six days, peaking at $0.5166 before sliding to $0.4565 at press time. While momentum remains strong, the appearance of an upper wick on Friday’s candle suggests bulls may be facing resistance near the $0.50 level. The move above the upper Bollinger Band, now convex, reflects aggressive volatility, but often precedes local tops as traders begin to secure profits.
Stellar Price Forecast | XLMUSD
The MACD indicator remains sharply bullish, with the MACD line (0.0419) surging above the signal line (0.0165), supported by expanding green bars on the histogram. This supports continued upside potential, but extended distance from the 20-day SMA suggests a possible retracement toward $0.4302, the midline support.
If bulls defend this level and BTC maintains its strength above $110,000, XLM could reclaim $0.50 and aim for a breakout toward $0.58. A breakdown below $0.43 would invalidate the bullish setup, triggering short-term downside toward the $0.38 region.
