Date: Fri, May 09, 2025 | 04:15 AM GMTThe cryptocurrency market continues to build on its recent strength, with Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) leading the charge. In the past 24 hours, BTC has crossed the $102K mark while ETH has surged more than 15% and is now trading above $2200 — its highest level in months. This bullish momentum is also lifting the sentiment across major altcoins, including Stellar (XLM).Stellar has jumped over 8% today, bringing its monthly gains to 34%. Now, the latest price action suggests there could be more upside ahead.Source: CoinmarketcapFalling Wedge Breakout Signals ReversalLooking at the daily chart, XLM had posted a remarkable rally of over 575% back in late 2024. After peaking at $0.63 on November 24, the altcoin entered a strong corrective phase. During this period, it formed a falling wedge pattern, which pulled the price down by nearly 68%, reaching a low of $0.20 on April 7, 2025.Stellar (XLM) Daily Chart/Coinsprobe (Source: Tradingview)Since then, Stellar began showing signs of a reversal. The key moment came today when XLM successfully broke out of the falling wedge pattern, a bullish indicator that typically signals the end of a downtrend and the beginning of a new upward movement. The breakout took place near the $0.27 mark, as the price moved above the descending resistance trendline. Following the breakout, XLM surged to $0.29 and is now testing the 200-day moving average — a crucial level that often determines long-term trend direction.What’s Next for XLM?From here, if Stellar manages to close firmly above the 200-day moving average, currently around $0.31, it could spark a strong rally. The next key resistance levels lie at $0.37, followed by $0.51 and ultimately the previous high near $0.63. Reaching that top level would mark a 117% increase from the current price, offering a potentially rewarding upside for traders and investors.However, if the price fails to sustain above the 200-day MA and faces rejection, a short-term pullback toward the breakout level around $0.27 could occur. This would not necessarily be bearish, as a retest of the breakout zone could offer a solid opportunity for buyers to re-enter before another leg higher.Disclaimer: This article is for informational purposes only and not financial advice.
