- Stellar (XLM / USD) climbed as high as $ 0. 08265 today before the bears woke up and repelled the advance.
- XLM’s price action over the last few days has given traders reasons to be bullish on the cryptocurrency.
- One crypto trader takes it a step further as he claims that Stellar has already entered
Last week,Stellar (XLM)grabbed headlines as theStellar Development Foundation announced that it burned 55 billion XLM coinsto effectively halve the circulating supply. News of the halving catalyzed an impressive pump that saw XLM climb by over 30% in less than 48 hours.
Unfortunately, the crypto token gave up most of its gains. Smart money investors took the rally as an opportunity to lock in profits. As a result, Stellar Lumens lost bullish steam. The cryptocurrency then nosedived to $ 0. 07. That was the price that XLM was trading before the news of the halving triggered the pump.
While those whobought due to FOMO (fear of missing out) got burned, those who waited for the pullback to be over were rewarded. Stellar has managed to post gains of over (% in four days.)
Traders Seeing Bullish Signals
On Tuesday, XLM managed to ascend to as high as $ 0. 08265 before succumbing to profit-taking. That’s an increase of 21 .6% since the Nov. 8 low of $ 0. 06799.
Despite the recent slide in the last few hours, analysts are turning mighty bullish on the cryptocurrency. For instance, trader Beastlorion considers XLM as one of two of the most bullish large cap coins.
Nick Hellman, vice president of LearnCrypto.io, shares Beastlorion’s view that Stellar Lumens is bullish. On Monday evening, the analyst characterizes the pullback after the halving as “healthy.”
Other traders are looking at the BTC base pair. Trader Stacking sees a double bottom reversal on the XLM / BTC pair. The analyst predicted that the cryptocurrency will target 960 satoshis (0.00000) )
Trader CJ has a more aggressive target. Though his analysis is from last week, it’s still relevant. The analyst expects Stellar Lumens to go as high as 1, 100 satoshis. That’s a growth of over 25% from the current price of 876 satoshis.
Nick Hellman: Stellar Lumens Has Entered Bull Territory
Saying that XLM is in a bull market right now might be a call that’s a little too early. However, Mr. Hellman seems convinced that the cryptocurrency is trending up. He told CCN,
I think the bull market for XLM has already started. It formed a nice base during September and has been in an uptrend ever since.
I looked at the chart and saw that Stellar Lumens built a strong base above $ 0. 058 in September. This enabled the pair to paint adouble bottom reversal pattern.
In addition, Hellman said,
There will be some short-term volatility due to some major fundamental news; including the elimination of network inflation and 55 billion coins being burned. But, once the dust settles it will still resolve to the upside.
It’s possible that today’s drop in Stellar’s price might be an opportunity for some investors. If Nick Hellman is correct, we might see Stellar perform well in the next few weeks.
