Stellar (XLM) Weekly Analysis: Can Price Break Resistance and Reach 0.47?

  • Stellar (XLM) stays locked in a weekly downtrend.
  • Sellers dominate below key moving averages.
  • Momentum indicators confirm bearish control.
  • Stellar network sees real-world sovereign use.

Stellar (XLM) on the weekly chart remains under pressure following the sharp rally seen in late 2024 and early 2025. That move ended in a classic blow-off top, after which the price shifted into a corrective downtrend. XLM continues to post lower highs and lower lows, trading near $0.218 and staying below the declining 9-week EMA around $0.2605, which has consistently capped upside attempts.

Stellar’s price is now drifting toward the lower Bollinger Band near $0.189, highlighting persistent selling pressure and expanding downside volatility. Immediate support sits at $0.19–$0.20, followed by $0.16–$0.17 and a deeper macro floor around $0.12–$0.13. On the upside, resistance remains firm at $0.26–$0.27, then $0.32–$0.33, with $0.45–$0.47 marking the upper extreme.

Market structure suggests XLM is still in a markdown phase rather than true accumulation. Strong red weekly candles and a widening lower Bollinger Band point to seller dominance, not aggressive dip-buying. The most likely scenario is a breach below $0.19 to $0.17, and then $0.13. An upside reversal rally will require consistent closes beyond $0.27, and then target $0.32.

Momentum Indicators Reinforce Bearish Bias

The weekly RSI for Stellar is currently at about 35, strongly below the centerline at 50, establishing dominance by momentum on the negative side. The RSI is also nearing the oversold region, which strongly indicates a significant sell pressure. This region, at times, experiences a relief rally.

The MACD is still in the negative zone with the MACD below the signal line and increasing red bars in the histogram. This reinforces the trend, with a bearish trend in progress. The momentum remains weak since the trend reversed from the mid-year recovery, showing control by sellers.

Network Adoption Advances Despite Price Weakness

The Republic of the Marshall Islands has rolled out the first-ever blockchain-based universal basic income payment system using a sovereign bond, USDM1, on the Stellar network. Developed in partnership with the Stellar Development Foundation and Crossmint, the ENRA project is now able to provide financial payments directly to its citizens, without using cash.

USDM1 is a U.S. dollar-denominated bond collateralized with short-term Treasury bills and routed through the Stellar Disbursement Platform into the Lomalo wallets offered in the Crossmint platform. It is reiterated: It is a financial distribution tool, not a currency, designed to provide safe and instantaneous transactions, catering to the sparsely populated Marshall Islands.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
