Market Overview

Stellar/Tether (XLMUSDT) opened at 0.2176 on December 29, reached a high of 0.2195, and closed at 0.2127 on December 30. The total volume for the 24-hour period was 14,638,196.0, with a turnover of 3,039,712.25.

The price action showed a distinct bearish bias as it broke key support levels below 0.2175 and failed to recover above 0.2140 despite volume spikes. A bearish engulfing pattern appeared around 19:00–19:30 ET, followed by a long lower shadow at the close, suggesting exhaustion. The 20-period moving average (5-min chart) remained above price, and Bollinger Bands widened in the late hours, indicating increasing volatility.

On the RSI, the indicator approached oversold territory (below 30) but failed to reverse, hinting at potential continuation of the downtrend. Volume during the bearish leg was robust, but price failed to confirm strength on rebounds. A Fibonacci retracement from the 0.2175–0.2195 swing showed price breaking below the 61.8% level of 0.2171, reinforcing bearish momentum.

In the next 24 hours, XLMUSDT may test the next support near 0.2120–0.2115. A close below 0.2125 could increase the risk of a deeper pullback to 0.2100, but traders should remain cautious as overbought/oversold signals may delay a reversal.
