XLM/USD Daily ChartOn the daily chart, Stellar has climbed above several resistance levels to reach highs of $0.4399. Stellar has also reclaimed the MA 200 and the MA 50 as support levels. Looking ahead, if the buyers push higher again, a minor resistance may be encountered in the range between $0.35 to $0.40. The first major resistance is at $0.40 and the second at $0.4399.
Once these levels are flipped, a price target beyond $0.6 may be reached. Since the rally occurred in a quick spurt, Stellar’s Lumen left the major support and resistance levels above $0.3 to $0.43 untested. If the price turns down from current levels, the first support beneath $0.3 lies at $0.2879 and the second at $0.250.
XLM/USD 4-Hour ChartStellar took off on January 5th when it confirmed the 4 hour MA 200 located at $0.16 as support. It continued a climb higher to$0.4399 where it met resistance and fell to the $0.3 price range subsequently. The bulls are currently attempting to sustain Stellar Lumens (XLM) above the $0.3 support. However, any rise from the current levels could face selling at $0.35 and then at $0.43.
On the upside, a sustained break past $0.4399 holds the key to XLM/USD uptrend. In this scenario, XLM could reach $0.6 and retest its all-time high of $0.897328. The XLM/USD pair is only bullish while trading above the $0.3 mark, key resistance is found at the $0.35 and 0.43 levels.
