Stellar price has seen a remarkable surge, climbing over 80% in the last 24 hours, rising to number one in the top gainers. The bullish momentum has pushed XLM from $0.302 to a peak of $0.55, as traders and analysts anticipate the possibility of the asset nearing the $1 mark.
Stellar Price Reaches $0.55 Amid Bullish Momentum
Stellar’s price rise reflects strong buying interest as it touched $0.55, marking a significant upward trend. After a period of consolidation around $0.40, the cryptocurrency broke through resistance levels, delivering impressive returns for investors.
Market participants have noted this upward movement as a sign of renewed confidence in the asset’s potential. However, the price also briefly retraced from its peak as it faced resistance at the $0.55 level, suggesting that $1 remains a potential milestone rather than an immediate outcome. Jed McCaleb, Stellar’s founder, has also added to the growing optimism surrounding the network.
In a recent statement, McCaleb commented on Stellar’s current momentum and its role in global financial systems. “Stellar is the most underrated and least understood crypto project,” McCaleb remarked, emphasizing its ability to facilitate real-world transactions and its high efficiency. He noted,
“The best and most impactful use of crypto is as digital money, and this is what Stellar is built for.”

Analyst Predicts Multi-Year Price Pattern May Propel XLM to $3-$5
Cryptocurrency analysts have highlighted a multi-year price structure for Stellar, suggesting that it may be poised for further growth. A prominent market speculator, known as “Charting Guy,” recently shared a prediction that Stellar could achieve price targets between $3 and $5.
According to the analyst, XLM price has been forming a bullish “Adam and Eve” pattern on the monthly chart since 2017. This chart pattern is often associated with long-term upward momentum.
