Stellar (XLM) Faces a Pivotal Test: Upside if $0.28 Holds, Deeper Dips if Not

  • Key Support: XLM is hovering just above the $0.28 level; a bounce could spark a reversal, but a drop might send it to $0.26 or lower.
  • Indicators Mixed: RSI is neutral but drifting lower; MACD shows weakening momentum with bearish bias.
  • Market Sentiment: Volume is moderate, and price action has been sliding since hitting $0.33 earlier in May.

Stellar (XLM) is sitting right on the edge — and analysts are watching closely. Ali (@ali_charts on X) pointed out that $0.28 is a key support level, and whether the price bounces or slips from here could set the tone for what’s next.

$0.28: Make or Break

Ali shared a chart showing XLM moving inside an ascending channel, barely hanging above $0.28. When he posted, XLM was at $0.284 after dipping to $0.280 earlier. That level’s now acting like a tightrope — and today’s price action hasn’t helped much.

Currently, XLM is trading around $0.282, down 1.49% in the last 24 hours. It’s testing that $0.28 support again, and if it holds, we could see a bounce. If not? The price could slide down to $0.26 or lower.

Volume today came in at just under 57 million XLM — active, but not huge. A solid breakout or breakdown usually needs stronger volume behind it, signaling traders are really stepping in.

Indicators Are Flashing Caution

Looking at the indicators, things are murky. The RSI is around 49 — right in the middle — which basically means the market’s not overbought or oversold. But it’s drifting downward, suggesting sellers are still in control for now.

The MACD isn’t helping either. It’s sitting below the signal line and both lines are getting close to zero. That’s usually a sign that momentum is cooling off. Unless buyers show up soon, the trend might tip bearish.

Earlier in May, XLM managed to pop above $0.33 — but it’s been dropping ever since. Whether $0.28 can act as a proper floor or not… that’s the real question.

So yeah, all eyes on this support level. If Stellar bounces, there’s room to run. But if it breaks, things might get a bit messy.
