Stellar's Charts Flash Double Golden Cross, Leaving Bears to Eat Its Dust (9% Pump)

Stellar (XLM) just pulled off a double golden cross on its short-term charts, effectively yeeting a week-long downtrend into the sun. Over the last 24 hours, the token has pumped nearly 9% to $0.178, booking a 1.87% gain for the week and giving bag holders a reason to look up from their despair charts.

The hourly chart saw the 50-day MA cross bullishly above the 200-day MA, a move promptly copied by the two-hour chart like a degen aping a hot trade. A fleeting death cross on that same two-hour frame was swiftly invalidated, as if the bulls collectively shouted "not today, sir" and hit the buy button.

XLM enjoyed a solid three-day green streak, peaking at an intraday high of $0.1823 early Wednesday. This rally launched from a March 23 low of $0.155 and decisively broke through the daily 50-MA at $0.161—a level that had been acting as stubborn resistance since July 2025, probably causing some serious chartist frustration.

The next major resistance level is waiting just above $0.181, a price zone that previously told XLM to "get lost" back on March 18. Traders are now watching to see if the token can finally punch through that ceiling or if it's just another fakeout designed to liquidate over-leveraged longs.

On the broader macro stage, most major cryptos are bathing in green, though overall market sentiment remains as cautious as a tourist in a dark alley, thanks to lingering inflation fears and the Federal Reserve hitting pause on rate cuts.

Over in the real-world asset (RWA) colosseum, Stellar's RWA market cap is roughly $1.4 billion, giving Solana's $1.5 billion a run for third place. Considering Stellar's total market cap is $5 billion, its RWA slice is still a modest portion of the pie, but it's a growing one, currently backed by about 10 issuers managing 67 tokenized assets.
