Long-Term XLM Price Support

A look at the weekly time-frame shows that XLM has been decreasing since November 2018. It also gives us two support areas. Once the XLM price reaches them, it could initiate a reversal. The support areas are found at 600 and 380 satoshis, respectively. The XLM price has reached the first one but not the second. This suggests that XLM is in a suitable place for the beginning of an uptrend.

Descending Wedge

A look at the daily time-frame shows that XLM has been trading inside a descending wedge since February. The descending wedge is considered a bullish pattern, making a price breakout more likely. Both the resistance and support lines have been touched several times. Additionally, XLM is rapidly approaching the projected end of the wedge — at which point a decisive move should occur. Besides the fact that the descending wedge is a bullish pattern, another bullish sign is given by the massive lower wick of August 6. This is a sign of significant buying pressure. Since it is not present in every exchange, it could just be an anomaly. However, the RSI and MACD also suggest that a breakout will soon occur. Both have been generating significant bullish divergence since the beginning of July. Therefore, we believe that the XLM price is likely to break out. If it does, where will it go next?

Future Movement

If a breakout occurs, two resistance areas are outlined below: They are found at 900 and 1300 satoshis. According to our analysis, it is likely to reach at least one of these areas.

Summary

The XLM price is trading inside a long-term descending wedge. According to our analysis, it is likely to break out and reach at least one of the resistance areas outlined above. Do you think the XLM price will begin an upward move? Let us know in the comments below.
