XLM/USD Price Medium-term Trend: Ranging

The Stella continues in a bearish trend in the medium-term outlook. It also continued ranging within the channel on the 4H chart last week. The bears could not break the demand level of $0.8 as their momentum gradually fades. The bulls’ pressure pushed price up toward the supply level of $0.21 due to the formation of bullish engulfing candles in the medium term, which means that bulls were taking control gradually.

As at present, the price is consolidating between the supply level of $0.21 and demand level of $0.18, the price will have to break the supply level of $0.21 for the uptrend movement occurrence and this will expose it to another supply level of $0.24. The 4-day EMA is about to cross the 50-day EMA downside, the price is below 4-day EMA with MACD above zero and its signal lines interlocked, which indicates the possibility of further consolidation.

Traders should be patient before taking a position to allow for either a breakout to the upside for a long position or a breakdown to the downside for a short position.
