Stellar Lumens (XLM) is showing a familiar technical pattern that could precede a third explosive expansion, according to a crypto analyst. Trading near $0.19, XLM has completed two full market cycles, each beginning with a prolonged accumulation phase, followed by a massive rally, and eventually a sharp correction. The first cycle delivered over 2,500% returns, while the second yielded roughly 730% — and now the chart appears to be forming a similar base.
The analyst notes that after months of sideways movement and heavy selling pressure, XLM is stabilizing within a broad accumulation range. Low volatility, negative sentiment, and declining seller pressure often signal the foundation for a new uptrend. History doesn't repeat perfectly, but the recurring sequence of accumulation, expansion, distribution, and reset is once again becoming evident.
Confirmation would come if XLM reclaims major resistance levels that have capped the price throughout the correction. Once those barriers break, market structure flips, attracting fresh liquidity and potentially launching another sustained trend. However, the analyst cautions that macro conditions and investor behavior differ each cycle, so the pattern is not a guarantee.
