Stellar's technical picture
XLM/USD has settled in the area below SMA50 (Simple Moving Average) on a four-hour chart ($0.0685). We will need to see a sustainable move above this handle for the upside to gain traction and take the price towards psychological $0.0700 strengthened by the middle line of four-hour Bollinger Band. This barrier now serves as a resistance that might cap the recovery. However, if it is broken, the upside momentum is likely to gain traction with the next focus on $0.0783 created by the upper line of the Bollinger Band on a daily chart.
On the downside, the price may continue moving to the South with the nearest support spotted on $0.0638 This barrier is created by a confluence of strong technical indicators including the middle line of the Bollinger Band on a daily chart, the lower line of four-hour Bollinger Band, SMA100 and SMA200 on a four-hour chart. Once it is out of the way, the upside is likely to gain traction with the next focus on critical $0.0600 followed by the lower border of the recent consolidation channel.
