Crypto analysts are closely watching Stellar (XLM) and XRP as both assets trade near crucial technical support levels that could determine their next major price moves. The analysis presents a detailed framework of key price zones and potential scenarios for each cryptocurrency.
For Stellar, analyst Diana (InvestWithD) highlights that the XLM price, hovering around $0.15 after a steep decline from its cycle high near $0.93, is in a deep retracement zone where high-timeframe reversals often begin. She identifies the $0.145 to $0.136 range as major support. If this level holds, it could form a base structure, though multiple tests may be required for a sustained reversal. A breakdown below $0.136 would weaken the setup and open the door to deeper downside.
The next critical level for XLM is the reclaim zone between $0.16 and $0.165. A sustained move above this band would break the pattern of lower highs and signal easing selling pressure, representing the first step in a potential recovery. Should XLM stabilize above support and clear $0.165, upside targets emerge around $0.25 and $0.30, representing gains of over 100%. Extension toward $0.50 would push gains beyond 200%. Diana's framework is clear: $0.136 must hold and $0.165 must be reclaimed for the bullish scenario to unfold.
Meanwhile, analyst C ZAR (C Zar Gets Crypto) focuses on XRP, which is trading near $1.31. He notes XRP's relative strength, having fallen less than 3% while Bitcoin dropped about 4.4%. C ZAR believes XRP is near a technical turning point, with the golden ratio support zone between $1.30 and $1.26 being critical. His base case is for a higher low to form within this range, though a deeper pullback toward $1.22 to $1.17 remains possible. He does not expect XRP to fall below $1 in the current environment.
Short-term indicators on lower timeframes show early bullish divergence for XRP, but daily indicators remain weak, meaning any bounce must prove itself. The key resistance level for confirmation sits near $1.52 to $1.53. A 4-hour close above this zone would strengthen the case that XRP has found its low. C ZAR framed the process as step-by-step: first, hold golden ratio support; second, break above $1.52. Failure to break above resistance keeps downside risk alive. The next 24 to 48 hours could offer clarity on XRP's direction.
