Profit-taking intensifies after DTCC deal drives institutional demand

Stellar’s recent rally was primarily triggered by the announcement of its partnership with DTCC, a move that significantly expanded the project’s institutional footprint and drove increased demand. Following this positive catalyst, the asset faced aggressive profit-taking, resulting in a sharp 37% retracement as traders locked in gains after the rally. The subsequent loss of the 200-day moving average on June 10 further accelerated the pullback, though current market action now shows prices consolidating above key support levels.

Mixed momentum signals as technical support zones hold

On the technical side, XLM is trading above the MA-20 ($0.1884) and MA-50 ($0.1885) on the hourly chart, as well as above the MA-200 ($0.1882) on the daily timeframe. The Ichimoku Kijun on the daily sits at $0.1880, underscoring immediate support. Momentum signals are mixed: the MACD supports a buy scenario, while the ADX remains neutral, suggesting uncertainty around trend strength. The RSI registers at 57.50, indicating moderate bullishness; the Stoch RSI signals overbought conditions and the CCI remains neutral. Bull/Bear Power (BBP) highlights strong intraday buyer dominance, but the Awesome Oscillator does not confirm additional upside momentum.

Sideways movement favored as resistance tests cap bullish outlook

Over the next 2–3 trading days, XLM/USD is projected to fluctuate within the $0.1772 to $0.2015 volatility band relative to current levels. There is a 72% probability of upward movement, with a much smaller chance for a downside scenario. The main expectation is for sideways movement within this range; a bullish breakout would require prices to clear overhead resistance, whereas a move below immediate support could shift momentum to the downside.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees short-term optimism in XLM on the back of institutional news, but remains wary of recent sharp retracements and mixed indicator signals. He notes that while price is consolidating above key supports, strong resistance and technical uncertainty persist. Kharitonov cautions that a neutral-to-sideways scenario is more likely unless buyers reclaim higher levels. "Until we see a sustained break above $0.2015, I remain cautious and prefer to wait for clearer momentum confirmation before turning bullish on Stellar."

Earlier, analysts noted that while Stellar faced persistent technical headwinds, its long-term outlook was bolstered by increasing institutional adoption and anticipated protocol upgrades. The current stabilization above key moving averages reinforces this positive momentum, positioning XLM for renewed upside if bullish signals are confirmed and resistance near $0.2015 is decisively broken.
