Stellar (XLM) Price Swing: Will It Soar or Plummet? Find Out Now!

by

Ah, Stellar (XLM), that delightful little cryptocurrency that seems to have a penchant for dramatic flair! It appears we are on the precipice of a major price swing—15% to be precise—though which way it will go is as clear as a Vogon poem. 🎭

In a tweet that could only be described as both insightful and slightly cryptic, our dear friend Ali, a crypto analyst of some renown, has pointed out a triangle pattern forming on the XLM/USDT one-hour chart. He boldly declared, “Stellar is forming a triangle pattern that could result in a 15% price move.” Well, thank you, Captain Obvious! 🚀

#Stellar $XLM is forming a triangle pattern that could lead to a 15% price move!

Now, for those of you who might be wondering what a triangle chart pattern is (and why it sounds like a geometry class gone horribly wrong), it’s essentially a visual representation of a fierce tug-of-war between bulls and bears. Picture a bunch of market participants squabbling over the last slice of pizza—eventually, someone’s going to win, and it’s going to be messy! 🍕

As of this very moment, XLM has decided to grace us with a 4.33% increase over the last 24 hours, bringing it to the grand price of $0.248. It’s like watching a soap opera where the protagonist rises from the ashes of $0.2, only to reach a dramatic high of $0.252 during the early Sunday trading session. Cue the dramatic music! 🎶

On the upside, we have the daily moving averages of 50 and 200 at $0.273 and $0.291, respectively. If these levels are breached, we might just see bulls stampede toward $0.375, which would be a recovery worthy of a standing ovation. However, should XLM decide to take a nosedive, we could be revisiting the $0.2 mark, erasing all those recent gains faster than you can say “market volatility.” 😱

Stellar’s Growth in H2, 2024: A Tale of Consolidation

According to a recent half-year report by Nansen, the second half of 2024 was a rather uneventful phase of consolidation for the Stellar blockchain. From July to November, the daily transaction volume remained stuck in a range between 1.5 million and 2 million, like a cat stuck in a box, despite the wild market moves that sent other chains into a tailspin. 🐱📦

Protocol 22 made its grand debut on the mainnet on December 5, 2024, after a rigorous testing phase that began on November 12. This version introduced constructors for Soroban smart contracts (CAP-0058) and support for BLS12-381 cryptographic functions (CAP-0059). Because who doesn’t love a good cryptographic function? 🎉

The increasing participation of centralized exchanges and DeFi protocols suggests that the ecosystem is maturing, much like a fine wine or a particularly stubborn cheese. With the potential for decentralized alternatives to emerge in 2025, Stellar seems poised for continued growth as it refines its infrastructure, expands cross-chain interoperability, and strengthens partnerships within both the blockchain and traditional financial sectors. Cheers to that! 🥂
