Traders Fuel 3% Rise in XLM as Stellar Lumens Smashes Resistance Barrier
Stellar Lumens Surges 3% as Institutional Traders Drive Breakout Above Key Resistance
Stellar Lumens (XLM) posted a solid 3% gain, rising from $0.40 to $0.41 over a 23-hour period ending October 6, as institutional trading activity surged and corporate investors accumulated positions.
The move came after XLM rebounded from a low of $0.39, triggering renewed demand during peak trading hours. Daily volume climbed above 71 million tokens, nearly triple the average, signaling strong participation from large accounts and funds focused on blockchain-based payment infrastructure.
Analysts pointed to the sustained move above $0.41 — a key technical resistance — as confirmation that institutional buyers are accumulating positions rather than trading short-term volatility. The breakout also underscores growing confidence in Stellar’s role as a bridge for cross-border financial settlement and tokenized payment networks.
“XLM’s ability to sustain price strength through multiple resistance levels, supported by elevated corporate volumes, suggests the early stages of a broader institutional build-up,” said a technical strategist at CoinDesk Research.
The token’s upward trajectory comes amid a broader recovery in the digital asset market, with investors increasingly rotating into payment-focused and real-world asset blockchains.
