XLM Slides Past Critical $0.25 Support Amid Broader Altcoin Weakness

Stellar’s XLM Dips Below $0.25 as Institutional Selling Accelerates

Stellar’s XLM dropped 1.6% on Tuesday, falling from $0.2491 to $0.2451 as sellers dominated, extending a sequence of lower highs from the recent $0.2602 peak. The token traded within a $0.0153 range, showing 6.2% intraday volatility. A surge of 36.3 million XLM at 05:00—78% above its daily average—confirmed a break below the critical $0.2520 support level.

With no major fundamental catalysts, technical trends drove the market, suggesting institutional distribution rather than retail-driven activity.

Bearish momentum intensified on the one-hour chart as XLM slid another 0.8% from $0.2478 to $0.2453. Two strong selling waves pushed the token below $0.2470 and $0.2460, accompanied by one-minute volume spikes of 1.71 million and 1.69 million tokens—over eight times typical levels.
