Stellar (XLM) saw its price rise to nearly $0.17 on Thursday, February 26, as the cryptocurrency market experienced widespread gains. XLM's price increased from lows of $0.15, reflecting the upward movement of major altcoins and Bitcoin, which surged to near $70,000. The altcoin's price is up nearly 8% in the past 24 hours, with a weekly gain of about 3%. Despite the recent uptick, XLM remains below key technical levels, including the 50-day and 100-day simple moving averages, which are clustered between $0.18 and $0.21. The daily RSI has moved up from oversold territory but remains neutral, while the MACD indicates bullish divergence with limited breakout potential. Bulls need to maintain support at $0.16 and push above $0.17 to target higher levels between $0.25 and $0.41. XLM's bullish outlook is supported by its role in the payments and tokenization markets, but downside risks persist. A breakdown below $0.15 could pose challenges for bulls, as bearish trends in the derivatives market and low futures open interest continue to exert pressure.
