Stellar/Tether (XLMUSDT) opened at 0.2209 on 12:00 ET–1 and reached a high of 0.2243 before closing at 0.2241 at 12:00 ET, with a low of 0.2219. Total volume traded was 13,090,847 XLM, and notional turnover was $2.82 million.

The 24-hour period showed a distinct consolidation pattern after a morning rally. A key 5-minute support level at 0.2225 was tested twice and held, preventing a deeper correction. Between 02:45–04:15 ET, XLMUSDT formed a bullish flag pattern on the 5-minute chart, confirming a short-term rebound.

Despite these signs, momentum indicators showed weakening. RSI hovered near the 50 level by the end of the period, and the MACD histogram showed a gradual contraction after a minor bullish peak. This suggests fading buying pressure and a potential pause in directional movement. Bollinger Bands reflected moderate volatility, with price staying within the bands but without a clear breakout.

Volume and turnover spiked during the 02:45–03:00 and 04:30–05:00 ET windows, aligning with key price levels. However, volume dipped in the final 3 hours, suggesting traders may be waiting for clearer signals. A Fibonacci retracement of the 0.2219–0.2243 move highlights potential near-term levels at 0.2235 (38.2%) and 0.2229 (61.8%), which could be watched closely for support or follow-through.

Looking ahead, the next 24 hours could see a test of 0.2245 as resistance or a pullback to 0.2225–0.2230. Investors should remain cautious about volatility if larger traders target key psychological levels.
