Stellar (XLM) is an open network that allows money to be moved and stored. XLM has been in the news over the past few days, after Moneygram, a leading global money transfer service, said that it would deploy the stellar blockchain, to enable its user to convert fiat currency into USD Coin.
The network’s native token, lumens, acts as the bridge which makes trading assets across borders cheaper, and challenges existing payment providers that charge high fees for a similar service. XLM is ranked 23 with a live market cap of $8,098,862,152.
XLM witnessed a sharp correction from its recent high of $0.4317, falling almost by 41%. The short-lived dip to $0.2551 on the asset was an opportunity grabbed by the bulls as the asset made a ‘Bullish Engulfing pattern’ and started trading in ‘Higher high Higher Low’ formation gaining almost 45%.
Currently, XLM is facing resistance around $0.365 (61.8% Fibonacci Retracement Level) and is witnessing some profit booking. Once the price breaks the resistance with good volumes then we may expect the asset to further rally up to $0.4 mark.
Major Levels:
Support: $0.30, $0.251
Resistance: $0.367, $0.395
