The XLM support has been holding at $0.218 while the resistance has been maintained at $0.257.

The MACD has been holding above the histogram with both the signal line and the MACD line falling towards the bearish zone. The cryptocurrency also saw two crossovers above the MACD histogram.

The Chaikin Money Flow indicator has been falling towards the axis, which is an indication of the bear trend pushing the money out of the market.

The one-day XLM graph indicates the support at $0.176 while the marked downtrend has brought the prices down to $0.246 from $0.334.

The Bollinger bands have started diverging after the end of the previous breakout, which is a sign of the bull trying to take over.
