Technical Indicators

In this section, we will analyze the price of XLM/USD at two-hour intervals from Apr 7 to Apr 12 alongside the RSI in order to better visualize the bullish divergence.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is an indicator which calculates the size of the changes in price in order to determine oversold or overbought conditions in the market.

Combining RSI bullish/bearish divergence with support/resistance essentially predicts price fluctuations. They are traced below:

Resistance Areas

To determine the actual possible future price levels, we incorporate resistance areas into the analysis.

Resistance areas are created when the price visits the same level several times. In case a breakout occurs, they can create possible areas of reversal.

These are shown in the graph below:

The closest resistance area is found near $0.117, followed by the second one near $0.123. Both of these are within the current trading pattern. This makes it likely that one or both will be reached in the near-future.

Summary of Analysis

Based on this analysis, the price of XLM is likely to increase in the near future, reaching at least one of the resistance areas outlined above. This means price may reach push toward $0.12 soon and possibly exceed this range. If the second resistance area of $0.123 is exceeded, we may expect greater rises toward the resistance line. However, we should also expect volatility along this upward movement. Do you think the price of XLM will begin to increase? Let us know in the comments.
