Stellar Lumens (XLM) Gets on the List of Crypto Alongside BTC and ETH on CNBC. Mainstream Adoption Incoming?
AI Trading

Stellar Lumens (XLM) has recently reclaimed its position among the ten largest cryptocurrencies, after a top performance printed a few hours ago, rising by roughly 49% in the US dollar-pegged cryptocurrency market.

This top-notch performance has made some crypto pundits envisage whether Stellar Lumens (XLM) is starting to silently absorb XRP bag holders.

Fundamentals

The XLM/USD exchange rate reached an intraday high of $0.313 after dropping to as low as $0.20 in the previous session. Traders flocked into the Stellar token XLM owing to a general recovery across the crypto assets that saw top coins, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP, emerging from their respective session lows.

Stellar primarily benefited from its accessible upside fundamentals. The open-source blockchain project lately emerged as a viable alternative to its top rival Ripple Labs. Ripple, a San Francisco-based payment firm, landed in a legal controversy with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over the alleged illegal sale of its native token XRP.

Many crypto traders and pundits are even weighing the possibility of XLM absorbing a number of XRP bag holders, considering its performance of late.

Meanwhile, traders assessed Stellar entering a high-profile partnership with the Ukrainian government to digitize their national currency.

According to Denelle Dixon, CEO and Executive director of the Stellar Development Foundation in a press release:

“We look forward to working with the Ministry and other stakeholders to digitize the hryvnia, to bring Stellar-based tools and services to the people and businesses of Ukraine, and to introduce new partnership opportunities in Ukraine to businesses in the Stellar ecosystem.” 

The prospects of greater Stellar integration into a country’s digital finance ecosystem partially allowed XLM to absorb the sell-off pressure during the weekend and Monday session. That may have helped the token log an attractive recovery rally on Tuesday.

Stellar Lumens (XLM) Technical Outlook

The XLM/USD exchange rate on a four-hour chart showed the pair in a short-term corrective downtrend following its 274 percent rally from the December 23 low of $0.11.

In doing so, it appeared to have formed a Bullish Flag, a small continuation pattern that appears when an asset consolidates before resuming its move to the upside. The price typically breaks out by as much as the length of the previous rally.
