XLM Short-Term Bullish Trend Taking Shape
Stellar (XLM) has recently shown notable performance. After months of consolidation, XLM recently broke out of the flag pattern on its technical chart. Technical analysts note that a decisive breakout from this pattern typically signals the onset of a significant rally. XLM is currently priced around $0.424. If the breakout momentum persists, the next target price could reach $0.67—a potential increase of about 57%.

Weekly Surge of Over 90%
In early July, XLM climbed more than 90% against the US dollar in a single week, rising from around $0.25 and breaking through multiple critical resistance levels. This was its largest weekly gain in nearly a year and suggests that the market may be reevaluating the potential value of the Stellar ecosystem.
Strong Link Between XLM and XRP
XLM and XRP are often seen as rivals in the market, both founded by Jed McCaleb. Despite this, their development strategies differ significantly: XRP, backed by Ripple, targets enterprise cross-border payments, while Stellar focuses on financial inclusion and peer-to-peer transfers.
The current price correlation between XRP and XLM is 0.95, showing that their market movements are closely aligned. After XRP surged past $3.65 to a new annual high, XLM’s subsequent rally is viewed as a result of rotation of capital. This may present an opportunity for investors to participate in the next phase of XLM’s price movement.

Summary
Currently, XLM benefits from a combination of positive factors: technical support from the flag pattern breakout, increased capital inflows as its value strengthens relative to XRP, and potential for growth in its underlying fundamentals. If XLM remains above the $0.4 to $0.43 support zone, the next rally could target $0.67, representing a potential 57% gain.
