Stellar (XLM) Falls to $0.2495 as Altcoin Consolidation Persists; Support Holds
Stellar (XLM) dropped 3.2% on Tuesday, sliding from $0.2577 to $0.2495 amid broader altcoin consolidation and cooling momentum. The token briefly tested resistance at $0.2558 on volume 87% above the 24-hour average before sellers regained control.
Short-term charts suggest stabilization, with XLM forming an intraday base at $0.248 and bouncing to reclaim the $0.250 psychological level. Hourly volume spikes near 1 million tokens indicate renewed accumulation, while a series of higher lows points to improving momentum despite sector-wide weakness.
Traders are closely watching the $0.248–$0.250 range as a key pivot zone. XLM’s ability to hold support and maintain an $8 billion market cap underscores steady demand for its cross-border payments utility, even as DeFi tokens face pressure.
