Stellar’s XLM Breaks $0.25 as Institutional Selling Accelerates

Stellar’s XLM fell 1.6% on Tuesday, sliding from $0.2491 to $0.2451 as sellers gained control, extending a pattern of lower highs from its recent $0.2602 peak. The token traded within a $0.0153 range, posting 6.2% intraday volatility. A sharp volume spike at 05:00 of 36.3 million XLM—78% above the 24-hour average—confirmed a breakdown below key $0.2520 support.

With no major fundamental catalysts, technical factors drove sentiment, with the break below $0.2520 pointing to likely institutional distribution rather than retail-driven moves.

Bearish momentum intensified on the one-hour chart, where XLM fell another 0.8% from $0.2478 to $0.2453. Two strong selling waves pushed the token below $0.2470 and $0.2460, with back-to-back one-minute volume surges of 1.71 million and 1.69 million tokens—over eight times normal levels.
