- Technical indicators show neutral to bearish signals; traders await volume-backed price moves near current levels.
- Despite recent drops, XLM holds major long-term gains: +163% over one year, +245% over five years.
Stellar (XLM) is trading at $0.2563 USD, showing a −1.79% daily decline. This places the token near its monthly low, with a −15.64% drop over the past 30 days, −22.80% year-to-date, and a significant −40.44% drawdown over the past six months.
Despite the downturn, XLM remains +163.01% up over the past year, and +245.80% in the last five years, signaling long-term resilience even under current bearish pressure.
Technically, XLM is approaching a critical support zone near $0.25, where it has historically seen consolidation and bounce attempts. A breakdown below this level could expose the asset to further downside, possibly toward the $0.21–$0.23 range, while a recovery and close above $0.27–$0.28 could validate a near-term bullish reversal.
Oscillators and moving averages are neutral to bearish, with traders watching for a volume-backed reaction around current levels.
Stellar Upgrades TPS Ahead of PYUSD
Stellar has formed a partnership with PayPal to integrate PYUSD, PayPal’s upcoming stablecoin, onto its network. The collaboration aims to improve cross-border payments by enabling low-cost, real-time transfers. PayPal plans to roll out PYUSD on Stellar once it secures regulatory approval.
Since the announcement, Stellar’s XLM token has seen mixed price action. In the past 24 hours, XLM slipped 5.84 percent to $0.25 even as trading volume rose 28 percent to $352.3 million. The initial reaction reflects profit-taking after the news, despite the long-term benefits of deeper integration with PayPal’s payment rails.
Over the prior day, XLM up 0.36 percent to $0.26, though volume fell by half to $168.8 million. The drop in volume suggests that traders are waiting for further clarity on PYUSD’s launch timeline and network performance under heavier demand.
