For many of the market’s altcoins, a rally was in the works even before Bitcoin’s price hike that enabled it to go past $11k took place. However, in the past day’s time, strong bullish momentum in the altcoin market has seen a dip. For the second-largest altcoin Ethereum, the past 24-hours’ price action hasn’t been very inspiring and in the case of coins like Stellar, the hike was marginal.

With a market cap of over $2 billion, XLM currently occupies the 14th spot on CoinMarketCap’s list. If the coin’s price were to surge even more it is soon likely to be met with resistance at the $0.10 price level. However, if a price drop were to take place then the coin may head towards the support at $0.094.
The MACD indicator has undergone a bullish crossover and signals the possibility of the price rise to continue. The Bollinger Bands are slightly contracting and indicate a slight decrease in volatility for XLM’s price. Stellar was recently in the news after UK based fintech firm Revolut announced that it has added Stellar lumens to its list of supported cryptocurrencies.
