Updated: Jan 11 2026- Resistance Testing: XLM is currently testing the critical resistance level at $0.261, which has previously capped upside attempts, and breaking this level will be essential for sustaining bullish momentum, with long positions nearly tripling short positions, indicating increased market confidence.
- Market Momentum: After months of tight consolidation, XLM recently gained 7%, moving closer to the upper boundary of its long-standing channel, suggesting active buyer engagement at current levels that could drive further price increases.
- Liquidity Support: CoinGlass data shows a notable liquidity cluster of 304.15K just above the current trading range, which could attract traders; if XLM breaches resistance, it may trigger a stronger bullish run.
- Short-term Trend Impact: If XLM successfully clears the $0.261 supply zone, it could signal the end of the consolidation phase that has persisted for months, pushing prices toward higher targets, prompting investors to closely monitor market dynamics for opportunities.
