XLM/USD: Technical picture

On the intraday chart, the ultimate resistance is created by psychological $0.1000 with the upper line of the 1-hour Bollinger Band located on approach. Once it is out of the way, the upside is likely to gain traction with the next focus on  $0.1100 and $0.1200. Basically, the coin will enter uncharted territory, while a move above $0.1000 may trigger a speculative rally.

On the downside, the vital support is created by $0.0900.  A sustainable move above this area will increase the downside pressure and bring $0.8000 (1-hour SMA50) into focus.
