Price action revealed distinct two-phase trading on Wednesday. XLM consolidated around $0.251 through early afternoon before plunging to $0.2492, then recovering methodically to $0.2502.
In the absence of clear fundamental catalysts, technical levels around $0.25 became critical as institutional flows shaped price discovery. Elevated volume without corresponding momentum suggests a standoff between buyers and sellers around current levels.
This pattern typically precedes either consolidation breakouts or gradual accumulation phases. The outcome depends on whether institutional interest can overcome existing selling pressure at current levels.
