XLM Reserve Rules Raise Supply Questions Amid Trading Near $0.18

XLM holders are reviewing how network reserve rules affect usable XLM supply. Cheeky Crypto says every funded Stellar account needs a one XLM minimum reserve, and additional trustlines can also require 0.5 XLM each.

These rules may reduce the amount of XLM that can move freely, but the effect depends on account activity, demand, and network usage. Sponsored reserves can shift reserve costs away from some users, making reserve data harder to read without wider network context.

XLM remains above key Fibonacci support at $0.166955 on the daily chart, with a first resistance near the $0.20 level. A stronger recovery would need XLM to reclaim $0.226355, but momentum remains weak while trading below this level.
