Institutional flows and transaction records drive network expansion

Stellar has achieved a new historic network milestone, setting a record of 217.4 transactions per second as institutional real-world asset funds drove increased activity, according to U. This higher throughput demonstrates significant network scalability and positions Stellar for a broader range of institutional and enterprise integrations. Institutional adoption continues to expand, with BVNK and U.S. Bank utilizing Stellar for global payments and stablecoin settlements, while Mastercard-backed stablecoin payment integrations via BVNK and the planned launch of XLM futures on CME further strengthen the asset's ecosystem.

Overbought signals and buyer dominance underline continuing momentum

On the technical front, XLM is trading above the MA-20 ($0.2155) and MA-50 ($0.2161) on the hourly chart, as well as the MA-200 ($0.1788) on the daily chart. The nearest support sits at the Ichimoku Kijun level of $0.2186. The hourly MACD signals a buy, while the ADX remains neutral, indicating moderate trend strength; RSI (63.08), CCI, and Stoch RSI are all in overbought territory. Bull/Bear Power shows buyers are currently dominant, and the Awesome Oscillator confirms continued upside momentum.

Bullish bias persists with volatility contained by resistance and support

For the next 2–3 trading days, XLM is expected to fluctuate within a range of $0.2248 to $0.241. The probability of further gains remains very high, with a low likelihood of a decline. The baseline scenario is for sideways movement within this volatility band, with a possible bullish breakout above resistance toward the upper range or, conversely, a bearish pullback if immediate support fails.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees Stellar’s network milestone and rapid institutional adoption as key macro drivers for continued positive sentiment. He notes the expanding role of stablecoins and integration with major financial players as strong fundamental signals. Momentum indicators remain robust, and global adoption trends should help keep XLM’s price within its higher trading range. "The stage is set for further gains as institutional demand and real-world utility keep building momentum for Stellar," says Karapetjanc.

Earlier, analysts noted that Stellar’s expanding institutional partnerships and technical momentum supported a constructive long-term outlook. The current setup reinforces that view, with network throughput surging to record levels and the planned launch of XLM futures heightening the need to watch for a decisive move above resistance as an early signal for further upside.
