The 1-day chart shows the powerful breakout beyond the range (yellow) that Stellar Lumens bulls established earlier this month. On July 13, they also managed to push prices past several higher timeframe highs. The main one was the one XLM registered on May 31, 2022. This was especially important as it represented a lower high in XLM’s downtrend last year.
The surge was supported by high trading volume, which showed huge demand and clear bullish intent. Over the past ten days, the bulls have managed to flip the $0.154 level into support. At the time of writing, XLM was trading just above this level.
The structure and trend were bullish after the formation of the higher low at $0.124 on July 17, followed by another step higher. The RSI showed strong bullish momentum and the OBV continued to rise.
The lower time frame chart suggested choppy price action or a pullback was likely
