The Stellar Foundation-SDF, a non-profit with a focus on Stellar-based blockchain solutions recently announced an upgrade of the Stellar blockchain to Protocol version 18, a significant milestone for the Stellar ecosystem.
You may be wondering what makes this a big deal. Well, this upgrade makes it possible for Stellar holders and users to create liquidity pools without smart contracts and high gas fees, making Stellar the only layer-1 platform to activate such a native AMM [Automated Market Maker] functionality.
Let’s proceed to analyze the XLMBTC and XLMUSDT price charts and gain further insights into how the recent events may affect the current XLM price.
The XLMBTC chart shows high demand for BTC compared to XLM. However, we could see a switch in trend polarity with higher RSI values above level-75 and level-25 going forward into the week.
Beginning with the weekly time frame overview of the XLMUSDT, the crypto pair fixes a price floor at 0.1988 after entering the oversold area on 21 June ’21, and slowly transition into an uptrend with the RSI climbing above level-75 on 09 August ’21.
A weekly price close above the recent bearish divergence resistance [0.4207] will confirm our decision to enter a long position with confidence into the XLMUSDT.
Conversely, a collapse of the 0.1988 support will suggest further bearish sentiment for the XLM against the USDT.
The daily chart overhead also reveals a resistance level set up by bearish divergence patterns on 16 October ’21.
There are obviously three scenarios from this point, with the first being a breakout above the crucial $0.4207 resistance. A second scenario would be that the price could trade within the $0.4207 and $0.3083 price range. The third scenario would be a breakdown of the 0.3081 support for a deeper correction of the current price recovery.
We, however, maintain a positive bias toward the XLMUSDT pair, following the first scenario for a breakout to the upside.
A view into the intraday 4HR chart reveals a possible price floor in the works, after a recent regular bullish divergence on 06 November and a breakout of bearish divergence resistance.
We could see a higher XLM price with a break above the 0.3987 resistance to confirm our bullish bias.
