A wave of heavy selling hit late on Nov. 11, with volume surging to 36.08 million tokens—47% above the 24-hour average—forcing a break below key support at $0.2845. The sell-off pushed XLM to lows near $0.2810 before buyers stepped in to stabilize prices. With few Stellar-specific catalysts at play, traders are focusing on technical levels. Accumulation near the $0.2949 zone and increased volume suggest institutional players may be positioning for a move toward the next resistance cluster at $0.2960–$0.2970. The key question is whether the base around $0.2810 can hold firm to support a sustained push higher. XLM/USD (TradingView) Key Technical Levels Signal Mixed Outlook for XLM Support/Resistance: Primary floor established at $0.2810 after volume-driven breakdown. Key $0.2950 resistance reclaimed on latest 60-minute breakout pattern. Next upside target zone positioned at $0.2960-$0.2970 cluster. Volume Analysis: Massive 36.08M volume spike (47% above SMA) marked support failure. Volume surge during $0.2949 retest signals institutional accumulation phase. Normalized activity in final hours confirms consolidation completion. Chart Patterns: Initial descending trendline from session high created bearish setup. Tight $0.2810-$0.2950 range suggests base building structure. Higher highs/higher lows sequence emerges on 60-minute timeframe. Targets & Risk/Reward: Immediate bullish target: $0.2960-$0.2970 resistance zone. Critical support defense: $0.2810 base formation low. Risk/reward tilts bullish above $0.2917 breakout trigger.
