Network demand rises as protocol upgrades and bank integration boost confidence

Stellar Protocol 28 has officially launched, delivering enhancements such as faster consensus, improved contract upgrade safety, and streamlined data migration, according to Coingabbar. These technical upgrades directly boost the blockchain’s transaction efficiency and stability, encouraging greater engagement from developers and validators and attracting increased demand for XLM. Adding to institutional momentum, Stellar's CEO highlighted that a U.S. bank has integrated USDC onto the Stellar network, further reinforcing the platform’s appeal for enterprise financial applications.

Bullish impulse confirmed as price surpasses technical barriers with positive momentum

On the hourly chart, XLM is holding above the MA-20 at $0.1829 and MA-50 at $0.18, while also maintaining a strong position above the long-term MA-200 at $0.1759. The Ichimoku Kijun provides immediate support at $0.1797. Momentum indicators are broadly positive: both MACD and ADX signal a buy setup, RSI indicates continued buying pressure, and CCI confirms ongoing bullish momentum. Stochastic RSI is neutral, suggesting the market is not currently overbought or oversold. Bull/Bear Power remains in buyers’ favor intraday, and the Awesome Oscillator further confirms upward momentum, with current price action close to session highs and high intraday volatility underscoring the prevailing bullish impulse.

Bullish breakout favored as volatility persists amid limited downside risk

Over the next two to three trading days, XLM is expected to oscillate within a $0.1806 to $0.1924 corridor, consistent with recent volatility. The probability of further upside remains very high, with a potential bullish scenario involving a sustained breakout above the upper range. Conversely, a bearish case would require a decisive move below immediate support at $0.1797, which currently appears unlikely given prevailing market dynamics.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees Stellar’s current momentum as mainly driven by strong technical upgrades and notable institutional steps like the USDC integration. He highlights the positive trend above key moving averages and bullish indicators, but maintains a cautious stance due to ongoing volatility and the need for continued follow-through above resistance. Kharitonov remains defensive, watching for potential breakdowns below $0.1797. "Despite recent improvements, I stay cautious until XLM proves it can hold above resistance — false breakouts remain a real risk here."

Previously, analysts noted that persistent downside risk dominated Stellar amid technical and regulatory crosswinds, though institutional developments were beginning to emerge. The recent surge in XLM price and confirmation of protocol upgrades strengthen the outlook, making the $0.1797 level a key pivot to monitor for sustained bullish momentum or reversal.
