Key Takeaways
Stellar (XLM) has been stuck beneath a descending resistance trend line for more than 1,600 days, with three failed breakout attempts in the past year.
Now, the token is testing a key long-term horizontal support level—one that could decide whether XLM finally reverses its downtrend or continues to struggle.
The weekly time frame analysis shows Stellar’s decline under a diagonal resistance since the May 2021 highs.
During this time, the XLM price has also interacted with the $0.37 horizontal area, sometimes acting as both resistance and support.
Today, the Stellar price trades inside the $0.37 horizontal area, attempting to reclaim it with a significant bounce.
Whether the Stellar price reclaims it will determine if the future trend is bullish or bearish.
A successful reclaim could take XLM to the diagonal resistance, currently at $0.48.
Since resistances weaken with numerous breakout attempts, the next one will likely succeed if XLM gets there.

Momentum indicators are undecided. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 50 while the Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) is barely above 0.
Based on these signs, whether the XLM price prediction is bullish or bearish is unclear. Whether XLM closes above $0.37 or not can determine what the future trend is.
The short-term wave count suggests the XLM dip is most likely over.
While there is a small chance that XLM creates a slightly lower low, chances are that the bottom is in.
According to the count, Stellar is completing or has already completed wave four in a five-wave upward movement (green).
The decline is contained in a descending wedge pattern, and since the wedge is bullish, an eventual XLM breakout from it is likely.

If the count is accurate, the main target for the top of wave five is between $0.628 and $0.665.
The 1.61 external Fibonacci retracement creates the lower limit (black), while the upper limit is created by giving wave five the same length as waves one and three combined.
If it holds above the $0.37 horizontal support area, XLM will prepare for its strongest upward movement this cycle.
A breakout from the short-term wedge could set the stage for a rally toward $0.628-$0.665.
A successful breakout could catalyze a parabolic Stellar rally toward a new cycle high.
