Stellar’s (XLM) Bull “Waking From Nap”, Says Peter Brandt

XLM withstood the $19 billion Bloody Friday wipe-out, potentially pending rebound: are bulls really back in the picture?

Seasoned crypto & stock market analyst Peter Brandt has switched his sentiment back to bullish after the horrendous $19 billion wipe-out last weekend. Indeed, the crypto sphere just came off one of the sharpest market drops in recent history, infused by the additional 100% United States (USA) tariffs on Chinese exported goods.

XLM Price Breaks Out Of Range-Bound Mode

On Saturday, Peter Brandt posted a quadruple technical crypto analysis, relevant for Ripple’s (XRP), Bitcoin’s (BTC), Ethereum’s (ETH) & Stellar’s (XLM) holders across the globe. One of the graphic draws attention to XLM’s recent closed-range structure, keeping the altcoin floating between $0.25 and $0.33, described by Mr. Brandt as “a bull waking from a nap”.

After the 3% rebound on Monday, Stellar Lumens (XLM) is approaching $0.35, so a daily close above this level would solidify the trader’s bullish manifesto. With 278% yearly gains, Stellar (XLM) remains one of the top contenders for an altcoin-based exchange-traded fund (ETF) beyond Ether (ETH). Peaking at $0.875 8 years ago, XLM is still 60.8% below this milestone.

Are Whales Backing Peter Brandt’s Theory?

Current technical implications prove Stellar’s (XLM) ongoing rebound to some extent. Just broken through the mid-tier Bollinger Band (BOLL), XLM’s market value is clinging on $0.37 price levels for a sentimental flip back to bullish, while it’s clear that crypto whales have survived last Friday’s $19 billion liquidation tsunami. Then, XLM slumped from $0.38 to $0.29 in a mouth-dropping hourly red candle.

The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) is back at 0.08 after two days of dwelling in negative territory, as the markets were shaken since Friday’s double-trouble dip. Not only did Donald Trump’s 100% tariffs on Chinese goods spark a bearish reaction, but Binance’s temporary service freeze added to panic, testing the resilience of major-cap coins.
