XLM price eyes 55% breakout if Stellar bulls can flip one crucial barrier

XLM price has been stuck trading under a crucial blockade for nearly five months. The situation is set to change soon, however, as Stellar coils up for an explosive breakout.

XLM price to explode soon

XLM price is taking a second jab at the $0.43 resistance barrier after failing on September 6. The inability of buyers to break through led to a 41% correction. Stellar seems to have made a bold comeback, however, as it is currently retesting the $0.39 to $0.43 supply zone, harboring the said resistance level.

A decisive daily close above $0.43, followed by a successful retest of this hurdle will confirm the start of an uptrend. In this situation, investors can expect XLM price to target the $0.50 level at first, after a 15% ascent.

Clearing that hurdle will propel the remittance token to $0.60, constituting a 55% ascent from the current position. While some market participants might book profits there, there is a possibility for XLM price to extend its climb even further to $0.71.

Regardless of the optimism around XLM price, a failure to push through the $0.39 to $0.43 supply area will signal weakness among the bulls. It could also indicate that the majority of  holders are booking profits.

If this selling pressure pushes XLM price to produce a decisive close below $0.36, it will create a lower low, invalidating the bullish thesis.
