Stellar's XLM Token Faces Pressure Below Key Support Levels

Stellar's XLM token continues to face challenges, trading around $0.160 and remaining below key moving averages. The token's outlook appears bearish as it must reclaim the $0.176–$0.180 range to improve its situation.

Recent data from CoinGlass indicates a bearish sentiment among traders, with XLM's long-to-short ratio dropping to 0.92, suggesting that short positions are outnumbering long positions. This trend reflects expectations of further declines in XLM's price.

Despite some positive funding rates, which climbed to 0.0092%, indicating that traders are willing to maintain long positions, the overall market sentiment remains cautious. The presence of large whale orders adds to the uncertainty, as selling pressure dominates both spot and futures markets.

Technical indicators show that XLM is trading below its 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day exponential moving averages (EMAs), which are currently positioned at $0.176, $0.180, and $0.190, respectively. The convergence of these EMAs creates a significant resistance zone that buyers must overcome for a meaningful recovery.

Additionally, XLM's Relative Strength Index (RSI) is near 33, approaching oversold territory, but this alone does not confirm a price bottom. If XLM fails to break above the resistance levels, it risks declining further towards the next support level at $0.142.
