Stellar Lumens Rises 3% as Institutional Traders Push Through Key Resistance
Stellar Lumens (XLM) rose 3% over a 23-hour period ending October 6, advancing from $0.40 to $0.41 amid a surge in institutional trading activity. Corporate trading volumes exceeded 71 million tokens, more than triple the daily average, suggesting renewed appetite for blockchain-based payment networks.
The price rally followed a rebound from $0.39, where buyers stepped in during high-volume hours to push the token through multiple resistance zones. XLM’s sustained move above $0.41 — a key technical barrier — signals strong institutional accumulation and confidence in Stellar’s growing role in digital financial infrastructure.
Analysts highlight the continued buying pressure from corporate accounts as a sign of expanding enterprise adoption. Many view XLM as undervalued among major payment-focused assets, projecting a potential advance toward $1.00 in the next cycle of institutional integration.
