XLM Eyes Bullish Continuation After Rising From Support
0Stellar’s token pushed through resistance at $0.398 on surging volume after a day-long consolidation, with shifting macro trends fueling demand for payment-focused assets.
XLM traded in a narrow band between $0.39 and $0.41 over a 24-hour stretch ending Aug. 21, reflecting a consolidation phase ahead of a potential move. Sellers repeatedly capped upside at $0.41, while buyers defended support at $0.40, keeping volatility subdued. A gradual dip in volume suggested traders were positioning for a breakout attempt.
That breakout came in the final hour of trading, when XLM rallied from $0.396 to $0.399. Strong buying momentum pushed through the $0.398 resistance level, accompanied by a sharp spike in volume exceeding 1.5 million tokens traded. The push set fresh intraday highs, reinforcing a short-term bullish setup.
Broader market currents also support rising demand for payment-focused tokens. Shifting trade dynamics, evolving stablecoin frameworks, and heightened inflation risks tied to supply chain pressures are reshaping the global payments landscape. Against this backdrop, XLM’s recent strength reflects growing interest in blockchain-based settlement alternatives.
