- XLM/USD extends Thursday’s losses below crucial SMA confluence.
- Downward sloping momentum also favors bears, monthly top adds to the upside barriers.
Stellar Lumens (XLM/USD) extends Thursday’s pullback from a convergence of 21-day and 50-day SMA while declining to $0.3960 during early Friday.
Not only the multiple failures to cross important hurdle off-late but the receding strength of the upward sloping momentum indicator line also suggests the cryptocurrency pair’s further downside.
However, an ascending trend line from January 27, currently around $0.3875, restricts the quote’s immediate downside, a break of which will quickly refresh the monthly low of $0.3675.
In doing so, the XLM/USD bears can target the area comprising the late February lows and 100-day SMA, around $0.3160-40.
Meanwhile, a daily closing beyond $0.4130 becomes necessary for the XLM/USD recovery.
Following that, the monthly top near $0.4340 and the late February peak surrounding $0.4700 can offer intermediate halts during the quote’s run-up targeting the $0.5000 threshold.
Overall, XLM/USD is up for fresh downside but the key support line probes bears.
