Key takeaways<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • XLM extends its loss for a fourth straight day as retail sentiment weakens and futures positioning declines.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • The token remains under bearish technical pressure, but is holding above its 200-day EMA and showing fading momentum.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Stellar\u2019s XLM extends its declines for a fourth consecutive session on Thursday, as selling pressure intensified across the cross-border payments sector. The token continues to struggle with weakening retail sentiment.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The broader correction highlights fading enthusiasm for remittance-focused crypto assets, which had previously benefited from narrative-driven rallies tied to institutional adoption and real-world asset tokenization themes.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Retail sentiment cools as futures positioning contracts<\/h2>\n

    Recent derivatives data points to a sharp unwind in speculative positioning across both assets.<\/span><\/p>\n

    XLM futures open interest<\/span> dropped to $260.35 million on Thursday, down significantly from Monday\u2019s peak of $358.78 million, according to CoinGlass.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    The steady decline suggests traders are scaling back bullish bets that had formed around optimism linked to the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) partnership and asset tokenization narrative.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Stellar holds key support, but momentum weakens<\/h2>\n

    The XLM\/USD 4-hour chart is bearish and efficient as Stellar is down 9.5% in the last 24hours. Unlike XRP, Stellar is still maintaining a more constructive technical structure, trading above $0.2110 and holding above its 200-day EMA near $0.1975.<\/span><\/p>\n

    However, short-term momentum is deteriorating. The RSI has cooled sharply from overbought levels to around 44, signaling a growing bearish strength. Meanwhile, the MACD is approaching a potential bearish crossover as upward momentum continues to contract.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Immediate support is anchored at the 200-day EMA, and a breakdown below this level could trigger a deeper correction toward prior consolidation zones.<\/span><\/p>\n

    On the upside, a rebound from current levels could see XLM retest resistance near $0.2579, which previously capped gains in late May.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"XLM\/USD<\/p>\n

    XLM now sits at a technical crossroads, with weakening derivatives positioning and fading retail enthusiasm weighing on sentiment.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The current market conditions remain bearish as macroeconomic conditions suggest that the ongoing selloff could continue in the near to medium term. <\/span><\/p>\n
