XLM/USD Daily ChartXLM shifted into a higher gear, simultaneously thrusting above the $0.689 barrier and the former yearly high of $0.690. Furthermore, the short-term oscillators are favoring the upside, demonstrating the pickup in positive momentum, which helped the pair overstep the $0.69 limiting barrier. The steadily advancing moving averages 50 and 200 are backing the bullish picture.
A successful step above the $0.78 high could face immediate resistance from the $0.85 barrier. If buying interest persists, the price could hit the $0.93 all-time high registered in January 2018. Alternatively, if XLM price recoils below the current levels, a vital support zone could develop from the previous barrier at $0.69 until $0.57. Slightly lower, the MA 50 at $0.50 may be a key spot to watch.
XLM/USD 4-Hour ChartXLM found new buyers above the MA 50 at $0.59, advancing its bullish impulse towards a fresh yearly high of $0.78 on Monday. Currently, XLM price seems to be facing some downside pressures near the $0.78 level. If the bulls claim this number, the way will open towards the $0.85. Higher, the rally is expected to take a breather around $1. The technical oscillators reflect a mixed bias, the RSI suffered a mild pullback, receding from a strongly overbought zone to around 70.
If XLM price extends its decline below the $0.69 barrier, it could meet the $0.66 and $0.63 support levels. Further losses could send the pair towards the MA 50 at $0.59 and then towards the MA 200 currently at $0.54. Overall, the big picture remains positive, though a sustained break below $0.70 might switch the outlook into neutral.
