XLM could follow XRP’s monster rally and hit $1 soon: Fact or fiction?
Key takeaways:
Stellar Lumens (XLM) rallied to $0.52 on Friday. The move follows an 87% over the last 7 days and mirrors similar gains from XRP (XRP). On Friday, XRP reached new year-to-date highs at $3.65, and XLM could follow suit as both assets share a 100-day correlation index of 0.95.
Veteran trader and analyst Peter Brandt said XLM currently exhibits the most bullish market structure among all significant crypto assets. In a recent X post, Brandt shared a monthly chart of XLM, highlighting the technical conditions necessary for a sustained rally. He noted,
XLM’s all-time high stands at $0.93, witnessed in 2018, but in the interim, immediate resistance zones near $0.62 and $0.80 could attract significant selling before any breakout toward $1.
Analyzing the XLM/BTC pair offers additional insight to strengthen the bullish case. XLM has consistently underperformed against Bitcoin since the previous cycle, but a bullish break of structure above the 0.000006 level on the BTC pair could mark a trend reversal. A decisive move may catalyze XLM to outperform the broader market, potentially initiating a price discovery phase in Q4 2025.
XLM open interest reaches new highs at $589 million
The XLM futures market is gaining momentum, with open interest hitting a new all-time high of $589 million. Notably, funding rates remain neutral compared to Q4 2024, indicating a balanced market with no signs of excessive long or short positioning, an environment often preceding significant price moves.
The recent uptrend appears spot-driven, as the aggregated cumulative volume delta (CVD) has risen sharply to $2.89 billion from $2 billion over the past three months. Interestingly, this increase occurred while XLM’s price had been consolidating between $0.30 and $0.20 since March, suggesting that large buyers quietly accumulated during this period of sideways price action.
