Stellar Surges 9% on Bullish Flag Breakout and Growing Network Activity

Stellar (XLM) has recently shown significant price movement, breaking out of a bullish flag formation twice within a single month, signaling a potential continuation of its upward trend [1]. The price of XLM has risen to $0.4563 in the last 24 hours, following Bitcoin's surge toward its all-time high of $122,000. Over the past week, XLM has gained 9%, with a 20% increase recorded over the last month and an impressive 340% rise since the previous year [1].

The technical indicators further support a bullish outlook. XLM’s relative strength index has recovered to 75, indicating ongoing buying pressure, though the MACD suggests this momentum may not be sustained indefinitely [1]. Additionally, Stellar has recently broken out of a bullish flag pattern, which is a technical signal often associated with continued price appreciation [1]. This follows a prior breakout in early July, marking the beginning of a new upward trend [1].

Fundamentally, Stellar continues to strengthen. The platform has seen a 242% increase in total value locked since the start of 2025 and has secured key partnerships, including one with PayPal, which will integrate its PYUSD stablecoin onto the Stellar network [1]. On August 8, Stellar processed over 13.4 million transactions—a 13% increase from its previous high—demonstrating growing adoption and network activity [1].

Analysts suggest that the current breakout could lead to a 100% price move in the near term, with XLM potentially reaching $0.50 in the coming weeks and $0.70 by the end of the year [1]. While the token remains 47% below its historical high of $0.8756 set in January 2018, continued market and project development could drive stronger demand and price appreciation [1].

Despite the bullish technical and fundamental signs, the market remains cautious. While the trend supports a short-term rally, the likelihood of a prolonged and sustained price spike is not guaranteed [1].
