XLM\u2019s funding rates read 0.0058%, indicating that the bulls are still paying the bears.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Positive funding rates mean traders holding long positions are paying those holding shorts, indicating that bullish positioning still outweighs bearish conviction among leveraged participants.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The divergence between positioning and funding suggests many investors remain cautiously optimistic despite the recent correction.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Stellar technical outlook: XLM holds above key support<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stellar continues to trade above its short-term moving averages, preserving a modest bullish bias despite recent weakness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">XLM is currently trading near $0.193, holding above the 50-day EMA at $0.1922 and the 100-day EMA at $0.1872<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the token remains capped below the 200-day EMA at $0.1985 and the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement at $0.2001<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These levels represent immediate resistance for the current recovery attempt.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Technical indicators continue to lean slightly positive.
