XLM Price Faces Caution After 107% Rally
Crypto analyst Ali Martinez pointed out a caution signal on the daily chart. According to him, XLM has increased by 107% in the last two weeks, prior to the recent pullback.
He added that the XLM price rally was signaled earlier by the daily TD Sequential indicator. The buy signal appeared before Stellar moved from $0.14 to a local high near $0.30.
Martinez noted that the same TD Sequential indicator has now issued a sell signal after the sharp rally. He added that XLM’s reaction near local highs could lead to a pullback toward $0.20.
Moreover, another analyst, Zach Humphries, mentioned that the chart is showing accumulation before an expansion phase. He identified a horizontal range between $0.136 and $0.180 that had held price action since February.
The recent bounce from range lows showed buying interest. The break above $0.180 reflected a significant change in the overall chart pattern, Humphries added. He noted that holding above that former range ceiling could validate his projected target of $0.340 by July.
XLM Futures Volume Drops as Open Interest Falls
Derivatives activity also weakened during the pullback. CoinGlass data shows that the futures volume is down by 30.13% to $1.68 billion, while open interest fell 15.40% to $321.31 million.
The XLM OI-weighted funding rate was 0.0073%. The figures indicated decreased participation following the recent rally, and funding remained positive.
