Stellar's Breakout or Breakdown: $0.223 in Focus

Stellar (XLM) has been trading in a range for quite some time, but recent gains hinted at the possibility of its consolidation coming to an end.

The token's price appeared to be on the verge of breaking past its key trendline resistance on the daily chart, putting its multi-month consolidation structure under pressure.

However, XLM lost some of its gains in the last 24 hours and is currently trading below its important daily EMAs.

The sharp uptick in volume and whale activity may be evidence of improving market participation, with the token approaching a key technical decision point.
