0.20 down from a 0.63 high and this is a BUY? XLM has been a rounding error of my portfolio since 2021, might stay that way
same energy as the 0.06 era. if enterprise partnerships still counted for anything we’d all be rich by now
down 68% from the high and still calling it stage 2 uptrend, bold. rsi 45 is neutral at best
the whole market structure lifted, xlm just follows btc beta. doesnt make the call wrong
stage labels are always clearer six months later tbh. 68 0rawdowns inside a stage 2 trend are ugly but not exactly rare in this market
stage 2 just means higher lows, it never required a new high. 0.09 to here without printing a lower low is technically the definition, boring as that sounds
stellar at these levels is where patient money gets rewarded or bored to death. 50/50 imo
0.20 sitting right on the 50d. if it reclaims 0.24 resistance this actually moves
the 0.24 level is also where the last lower high came in, so a reclaim would actually change structure and not just sentiment. watching that one closely
a reclaim of 0.24 and even the 2021 bagholders like me get interested. until then its a slow grind above the 50d
^ exactly, reclaiming the lower high changes structure not vibes. thats the line im setting alerts on
50d and 0.24 are basically the same zone right now. one candle through both and this goes from boring to interesting real fast
0.24 is basically the 200d zone, that reclaim changes the whole structure. until then this is just a range trade with a nicer chart
Stellar payments genuinely settle fast and cheap. The chart just refuses to care. That has been the XLM story for a decade.
fast and cheap stopped being a selling point when every chain does it. the chart is rude but honest, tech was never the thing holding xlm back
honest question for the people who have followed Stellar longer than me: does anything in this report actually differ from the 2024 setup, or is it the same 0.20 range with new dates
holding xlm since 2021 here. the only difference from the 2024 report is the date. same 0.20, same promises, different cover image
2021 bagholder solidarity. difference this time is obv climbing with price, back then it flatlined the whole way up. still half size until 0.24 goes though
same 0.24 wall as last year but the obv slope is genuinely different this time. one of us will be right soon
2021 gang rising. difference this cycle is the volume column actually backs the obv claim, back then it flatlined the whole way up. still not adding til 0.24 goes tho
followed it since 2019: difference is obv and the 1.35 volume ratio actually confirming accumulation this time. 2024 was the same price on dead volume
the obv slope point is legit but xlm has burned believers at 0.24 three years running. alerts set, hands off til the daily close prints above it
stage 2 label or not, xlm has not closed above 0.24 in over a year. the 1.35 volume ratio is nice, the reclaim is the only number that actually matters
0.20 with OBV climbing and a 1.35 volume ratio is the first time in months the accumulation column actually means something. still half size til 0.24 goes
buy call at 0.20 after a 68 percent drawdown takes guts. rsi 45 says nobody believes it yet, which is usually how these start
