Stellar [XLM] is flashing mixed signals as the price consolidated inside a bullish flag on the daily chart.
At press time, XLM was trading at $0.3410, after decreasing 0.5% in price, while the trading volume dropped by 10.61%.
Following a steady network growth and total value locked in late 2024 to date, the price consolidation could lead to a breakout above this bullish flag.
XLM’s technical setup
XLM is trading inside a bull flag that could be a continuation pattern of its previous bullish momentum.
The altcoin faces resistance at the $0.35-$0.40 key zone, leading to a price consolidation as the $0.28-$0.30 zone becomes the support.
According to Solberg Invest on X(formerly Twitter), if XLM faces high buying pressure, the consolidation could lead to a breakout above the $0.40 key resistance level targeting the $0.51, a previous resistance level.

What’s next for XLM?
XLM’s monthly oscillator summary of major indicators signals a buy despite a 2.63% decrease in Open Interest in the last 24 hours, according to Coinalyze data.
At the time of writing, the RSI stood at 44.93 and has grown to 53.15 in the 4-hour timeframe, showing potential accumulation.
A breakout above the bullish flag with strong buying pressure in the next few days could boost XLM’s uptrend momentum toward $0.51.
