XLM surged over 11%, bringing the asset closer to key resistance levels that could determine the next phase of its price action.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Supporting the rally are improving derivatives and on-chain metrics, including rising open interest, increasing trading volumes, and positive funding rates, all of which point to growing market participation and strengthening bullish sentiment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Data from <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CoinGlass<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> shows a notable increase in derivatives activity for both cryptocurrencies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">XLM\u2019s open interest climbed to $261 million. Rising open interest is generally viewed as a sign that new capital is entering the market and that traders are increasing exposure to the assets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The increase suggests investors are positioning for further upside as momentum improves across the broader crypto market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Funding rates have also shifted in favor of bulls. CoinGlass data shows that XLM\u2019s funding rate reached 0.0061% on Tuesday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Positive funding rates indicate that long-position holders are willing to pay a premium to maintain bullish bets, often reflecting growing confidence in higher prices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On-chain activity provides additional support for the bullish outlook. According to Santiment, Stellar\u2019s trading volume is climbing to $879.25 million from just $153 million over the past few days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The sharp rise in activity suggests renewed investor interest in the XLM ecosystem as prices recover from recent lows.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Stellar technical outlook: Momentum continues to improve<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">XLM is trading near $0.227 on Tuesday, maintaining a constructive technical setup after rebounding from last week\u2019s correction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The token remains above a key support zone formed by the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level near $0.200 and the 200-day EMA around $0.199.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additional support comes from the 50-day and 100-day EMAs at $0.185 and $0.182, respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The RSI is currently near 71, indicating healthy momentum without entering overbought territory. Meanwhile, the MACD continues to trend higher, signaling that bearish pressure is gradually weakening.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the rally persists, immediate resistance is seen at the $0.237 level, with an additional supply zone at the $0.260 region.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, if the bearish trend returns, immediate support is located at the $0.200 psychological level.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-source=\"CoinJournal\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-365341\" src=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/XLMUSD_2026-06-16_13-37-04.png\" alt=\"XLM\/USD 4H Chart\" width=\"1793\" height=\"836\"\/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A daily candle break below this level could expose further demand zones at $0.185 and $0.177 in the near term.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A breakout above $0.237 could pave the way for a stronger move higher, while holding above the $0.200 support zone remains crucial to preserving the current bullish structure.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-meta\">\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Share this article<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Categories<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Tags<\/h6>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Analysis,Stellar#Stellar #rallies #rising #trading #volume #signal #growing #bullish #momentum1781613783<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key takeaways XLM is up 12% in the last 24 hours, outperforming the broader crypto market.
