Bearish technical structure prevails with strong downside momentum and a firm trend, despite some oscillators in oversold territory.

Smart contract enhancements and major fund flows offset by security breach this week

Stellar's Protocol 30 'Bell' upgrade went live on testnet November 3, 2026, featuring enhanced smart contract capabilities and post-quantum signature verification, with the mainnet activation vote scheduled for November 23, 2026, according to crypto.news. Ecosystem participants, including exchanges and wallets, have been advised to prepare for software and integration updates. Last week, the network saw $126.5 million in a single-day inflow to tokenized funds and Franklin Templeton's tokenized money market fund on Stellar reached $1.1 billion in value, DailyCoin reported. Additionally, Brazil's largest crypto exchange, Mercado Bitcoin, confirmed that about 6.7 million XLM were stolen during a $40 million breach, according to U.Today.

Sustained bearish momentum as ADX rises and price tests lower support

The daily chart is locked in a sustained move lower with a firm trend, as confirmed by a high ADX reading of 31.2949 and a MACD in sell mode. Daily oscillators show mixed signals: while the RSI is neutral, the CCI and Stochastic RSI are both in the oversold zone, pointing to potential selling exhaustion. Price is anchored at the lower end of its recent range, trading just above support at $0.1515, with resistance at $0.1709 and further resistance from the Ichimoku Kijun at $0.1788. Volatility over the past week has been elevated at 13.6%, underlining the intensity of the recent decline.

Downside risk dominates as consolidation likely within projected weekly range

Over the coming week, the expected range is $0.1345 to $0.1656, with a very low probability of an increase and a very high probability of a decrease. The base case sees price consolidating or extending lower within this range, as downside momentum continues to dominate. A sustained push above resistance at $0.1709 would be needed to signal a bullish reversal. Conversely, a drop below support at $0.1515 could open up the lower end of the projected range.

Parshwa Turakhiya, analyst, notes that Stellar (XLM) spent the past week under steady selling pressure, driven down nearly 7% but stabilizing near $0.15. He sees sentiment tilting toward heightened volatility, with big inflows into tokenized funds on Stellar and the major Protocol 30 'Bell' upgrade on the horizon. Technicals remain firmly negative — ADX confirms the trend, and the MACD signals continued selling — but oversold oscillators suggest bears may be running out of steam. In the coming week, Turakhiya expects price action to stay contained between $0.1345 and $0.1656, with a retest of support at $0.1515 likely unless resistance at $0.1709 is reclaimed. "The combination of fresh innovation and recent large flows could quickly shift sentiment, but for now I’m watching for signs of exhaustion to hint at a possible bounce from oversold conditions."

Earlier, analysts noted that entrenched selling pressure and a bearish technical setup continued to dominate Stellar, even as the network advanced with protocol upgrades and growing tokenized fund inflows. The current analysis reinforces this outlook, with additional volatility driven by both upcoming network changes and security incidents, and traders should closely monitor the $0.1515 support level for potential downside breaks.
