Stellar (XLM) Price Breakout Fuels 30% Surge Hopes Stellar Lumens (XLM), the cryptocurrency designed to facilitate fast and low-cost cross-border payments, has recently shown signs of a potential breakout, sparking speculation about a significant price surge. After a period of relative stagnation, XLM has demonstrated renewed momentum, capturing the attention of traders and investors alike. This article delves into the factors contributing to this potential breakout, examines technical indicators, and explores whether a 30% surge is a realistic possibility. Stellar’s core mission is to provide an efficient and inclusive financial ecosystem, particularly for underserved populations. It aims to streamline international transactions, making them faster, cheaper, and more accessible than traditional banking systems.1 This focus on real-world utility has always been a strong foundation for XLM, and recent developments suggest this utility is beginning to translate into market action. Factors Driving the Potential Breakout: Several factors contribute to the current bullish sentiment surrounding XLM: • Increased Network Activity: A key indicator of a healthy blockchain network is its level of activity. Recent data suggests a significant uptick in transactions on the Stellar network. This increased usage indicates growing adoption and demonstrates the platform’s real-world utility. This increased activity could be attributed to new partnerships, integrations with existing financial institutions, or the organic growth of its user base. • Growing Institutional Interest: While not as prominent as Bitcoin or Ethereum, Stellar has been quietly attracting institutional interest. Its focus on regulated financial services and its compliance-friendly approach make it an attractive option for institutions seeking to explore the potential of blockchain technology. Increased institutional involvement often translates to larger trading volumes and can significantly impact price action. • Favorable Regulatory Landscape: The regulatory landscape for cryptocurrencies is constantly evolving. Positive regulatory developments, particularly those related to cross-border payments and digital assets, can create a favorable environment for projects like Stellar. Clearer regulations can foster greater confidence among investors and encourage wider adoption. • Technical Indicators: From a technical analysis perspective, XLM has shown promising signs. Recent price action has seen XLM break through key resistance levels, suggesting a shift in momentum.2 Trading volume has also increased, further supporting the bullish narrative. Several technical indicators, such as moving averages and relative strength index (RSI), point towards a potential upward trend. • Focus on Decentralized Finance (DeFi): While Stellar isn't primarily known for DeFi, the network has seen increasing development in this sector. The growth of DeFi applications on Stellar could attract new users and capital to the ecosystem, further driving demand for XLM. Technical Analysis and Price Prediction: Analyzing XLM's price charts reveals a potential breakout pattern. The price has been consolidating within a defined range for a period, and the recent break above this range suggests a potential shift towards an upward trend. This breakout is further supported by increased trading volume, indicating strong buying pressure. Several technical indicators suggest a bullish outlook: • Moving Averages: The price of XLM has crossed above key moving averages, such as the 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which are often interpreted as bullish signals. • Relative Strength Index (RSI): The RSI, a momentum indicator, is showing increasing strength, indicating growing buying momentum. • Volume: The increased trading volume accompanying the price breakout provides further confirmation of the bullish trend. Based on these technical indicators and the current market momentum, a 30% surge is a plausible scenario. However, it’s crucial to remember that the cryptocurrency market is highly volatile, and price predictions are not guaranteed.3 Several factors could influence XLM’s price action, including overall market sentiment, regulatory developments, and competition from other cryptocurrencies. Is a 30% Surge Realistic? While the technical indicators and fundamental factors suggest a potential for significant price appreciation, a 30% surge should be considered a potential target rather than a certainty. The cryptocurrency market is known for its volatility, and unforeseen events can quickly change market sentiment.4 Conclusion: Stellar’s XLM is showing promising signs of a potential breakout. Increased network activity, growing institutional interest, favorable regulatory developments, and positive technical indicators all contribute to the bullish sentiment. While a 30% surge is a realistic possibility based on current trends, investors should exercise caution and conduct thorough research before making any investment decisions. The cryptocurrency market is highly volatile,5 and it’s essential to manage risk effectively.6 However, the current momentum surrounding XLM suggests that the project is well-positioned for future growth and could offer significant potential for investors. The focus on real-world utility and the development of the Stellar ecosystem continue to be key factors to watch in the coming months.

BTC/USDT : 200 day MA is key support to a massive $160,000 jump.Hello Traders, A compelling pattern is forming for CRYPTOCAP:BTC . Considering how BTC interacted with the 50 day MA from November 2023 to March 2024, with BTC retesting at $40,000 in January and then surging to $73,000 in March, if history repeats, the 2025 bull run could potentially send BTC to $160,000 within three months. Technically, BTC broke through the 50-day MA resistance from above and from $48,000 it declined by 20% towards the 100-day MA trendline to have rest at $38,000. From the 100-day MA trendline, BTC then rallied by 90% all the way up to $73,000. If this historical move were to repeat, BTC would likely encounter the 100-day MA trendline to fall 20% at $85,000 before another 90% surge towards $160,000 🚀🚀🚀. Play safe, #DisciplineWithStopLoss before you invest and keep close eyes on 50 & 100 day MA trendlines 🤞 #ChartPatterns #SwingTrading #BTCUSD #PatienceIsKey #RektProofTrade #ProtectYourCapital

Traeger | COOK | Long at $2.50Traeger NYSE:COOK is in an accumulation zone and approaching a change in the downward trend based on my selected simple moving average. Insiders have shown confidence in future price improvement by buying shares and being awarded options in the low $2s. With a 58M float and anticipated earnings improvement through 2027, this ticker may be poised for a run soon. There is a tiny gap in the daily chart between $2.19 and $2.20 that may get filled before then, but Traeger has a strong brand name and can be found in multiple big box stores. A slowing economy may dampen this move in the near-term, but NYSE:COOK is in a personal buy zone at $2.50. Target #1 - $4.15 Target #2 - $5.00 Target #3 - $8.50 Target #4 - $19.00 (very long-term...)

American Airlines | AAL | Long at $14.00Similar to my cruise line picks, I anticipate airlines to quite literally "take off" in the coming years as interest rates are lowered and people travel more. These two industries never quite recovered from the pandemic, but their time to do so is "likely" fast approaching. American Airlines NASDAQ:AAL has been consolidating near my selected long-term simple moving average (SMA) for several years. Many retail investors have been beaten up by the sudden up and (especially) down price movements, but this is where larger investors gather their shares. The fact NASDAQ:AAL did not make a new low in August 2024 is a hopeful sign from a technical analysis perspective. While the price may dip to close out the new lower price gaps, I think we are nearing the "take off" zone which will be a massive break through the long-term SMA. A confirmation that something bigger is brewing would be a price move into the $15s, dip down to the $12s, and the larger move up. Regardless of trying to predict bottoms, NASDAQ:AAL is in a personal buy zone at $14.00. Target #1 = $15.25 Target #2 = $16.55 Target #3 = $18.40 Target #4 = $27.00 (very long-term outlook...)

Take-Two Rallied. Now It’s Pulled BackTake-Two Interactive Software jumped in November and now some traders may see potential for upside continuation. The first pattern on today’s chart is the price gap on November 7 after earnings and revenue beat estimates. The videogame developer proceeded to multiyear highs after the report, which may reflect bullish sentiment. Second is the $177.62 level. It was a weekly close on November 15 and the lowest daily closing price after the bullish gap. TTWO probed that level by $0.27 on Friday but has stayed above it. Is support in place above the previous 52-week high? Next, stochastics have hit an oversold condition and prices are holding the bottom of the Keltner Channel. Finally, the stock moved sideways between July 2023 and October 2024. But then the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) crossed above the 100- and 200-day SMAs. They’re now in a potentially bullish sequence, with faster SMAs above the slower. That may suggest an uptrend is resuming after more than a year of consolidation.

$SPY January 15th, 2025AMEX:SPY January 15th, 2025 15 minutes As the numbers are below 200 averages in 15 minutes, I will short. For the fall 595 to 575 we have ascillator divergence, therefore, taking 575.35 as the low, drawing extension for the move 575.5 to 585 to 578.35, we have a first target of 588 and second target of 594 levels For the fall 597.75 to 575.35 we have 0.618 retracement at 590 - 591 levels. That is the level I will short. However, we have 200 averages at 588 levels, therefore the short will give us only $2 profit. Since the risk to reward is not good, we have to wait for the first 15 minute bar to form to see how the close is located, either near top or near bottom. As written many times, gaps which are unfilled are strong, therefore if we get the first bar close near top, keeping the low of the bar as stoploss, we have to go long. The reason is the values become above 200 averages, therby triggering a buy.

DLNG: Bullish Setup with Multiple ConfluencesI see several compelling reasons to be bullish on DLNG: Breakout of Long-Term Consolidation: The stock has decisively broken out of a multi-month consolidation zone around $4.22. It has since retested this level, confirming it as support. This breakout suggests that momentum is shifting in favor of the bulls. Liquidity Gap to Target: There is a clear liquidity gap on the chart, providing a smooth path for price movement from the current levels to $8.00. Such gaps often act as magnets for price action, increasing the likelihood of upward continuation. Moving Averages Alignment: The stock is trading above key moving averages (e.g., 50-day and 200-day), a classic signal of bullish momentum. Additionally, the moving averages are likely forming a "golden cross" pattern (if applicable), which strengthens the bullish outlook. Volume Confirmation: Recent price movement has been accompanied by increasing volume, adding credibility to the breakout. Higher volume on breakouts often indicates institutional interest and a higher probability of sustained price movement. RSI and Momentum Indicators: Momentum indicators like RSI are likely in bullish territory but not yet overbought, leaving room for further upside. Key Levels to Watch: Support: $4.22 (previous breakout level) Resistance: $8.00 (liquidity gap target) Please, do your own research!

Kroger Pulls BackKroger jumped to a new record high one month ago, and now dip buyers may eye its recent pullback. The first pattern on today’s chart is the April high of $58.34. The grocery chain tested $0.01 below it last week before stabilizing. Has old resistance become new support? Second, the recent trough continued a series of higher weekly lows running all the way back to September. Speaking of September, that’s when KR’s 50-day simple moving average (SMA) crossed above its 100-day SMA. Both are rising and above the 200-day SMA. That configuration could indicate a new uptrend has taken shape. Finally, stochastics are turning up from an oversold condition.

Retractable Technologies | RVP | Long at $0.76Retractable Technologies AMEX:RVP is a cyclical OTC stock that may be in a consolidation / accumulation phase for a major rise in the next 1-2 years. The reason this stock got my initial attention is the CEO bought $800,000 worth of shares over the last two years, with his buy range between $0.60 and $1.28. Pulling up the chart, my historical simple moving average (SMA) line seems to predict (quite well for this ticker) the sudden rise in price (i.e., as the SMA lines get closer to the price, there is a jump in price). The stock only has a 13.1 million float. Between 2017 and 2019, the stock price consolidated near the levels seen during the last two years. Then, once my selected historical SMA reached the price, it jumped, consolidated further and rose to over $21.00... Now, I don't necessarily think the price will rise that high. There are currently two open price gaps on the daily chart (highest near $6.00) that may get closed. I may be very early, on time, or the stock could go to zero. But if the CEO is going to risk that much for a current penny-play, I will dabble in the risk and simply be patient until SMA connects with the price. Nothing to discuss regarding the fundamentals of this one (not great)... it's purely a technical analysis play. Target #1 = $1.00 Target #2 = $1.25 Target #3 = $1.50 If it soars... Target #4 = $4.18 Target #5 = $5.90

Trading Plan for ONDO: Is This A Lifetime Opportunity?Do you know that in the next 6 days, you may have the opportunity to stack more COINBASE:ONDOUSD tokens at a lower price per token? The current circulating supply will increase by 200%, diluting the token's current valuation. I am a long-term holder of ONDO, but seeing the on-chain data about the future token unlock, I decided to offload some of my bags at $1.2 per token. Why? My entry price range was between 12-16 cents, it is okay to take some profits because there is an opportunity to buy lower and increase the amount of ONDO in my portfolio. This is not a short signal, please. The trading plan is focused on buying when the opportunity presents itself, then we ride it to the top again. Take note of the entry prices and stop loss level! NB: this is a swing trade, if you have no patience to ride the momentum, or swing trade is not your thing, please ignore the analysis. Do you have any questions about this analysis?

EUR/USD (EU) Analysis (Daily Timeframe)Recently, we’ve observed a distribution phase in EUR/USD, followed by a markdown , confirming the overall bearish trend visible on both the daily and weekly timeframes. Key Observations: Bearish Structure: On the daily timeframe, price is consistently creating supply zones and showing strong reactions to them. The market structure confirms the downtrend with the formation of lower lows and breaks to the downside. EMA Interaction: The price is currently surfing downward along the EMAs , which are acting as dynamic resistance and reinforcing the bearish momentum. Scenarios to Watch: Continuation: Price could continue its markdown, heading toward the short-term target and potentially testing the psychological level of 1.0000. Re-distribution: There’s also a possibility of a move upward, creating a re-distribution phase to accumulate enough liquidity for a stronger push below 1.0000 . Fundamental Insights: Strength of the US Economy: The US dollar remains strong due to: Higher interest rates maintained by the Federal Reserve to combat inflation, which increases the demand for USD-denominated assets. Strong labor market data , with low unemployment and rising wages supporting consumer spending. Positive GDP growth , reflecting resilience in the US economy despite global economic challenges. Weakness in the Eurozone: European economies are facing multiple headwinds, including: Energy concerns driven by geopolitical tensions, leading to higher costs for businesses and consumers. Slow economic growth as inflation continues to weigh on consumer spending. Divergence in monetary policy , with the European Central Bank (ECB) appearing more cautious about aggressive rate hikes compared to the Fed. The combination of these factors makes the USD fundamentally stronger, while the EUR struggles under the weight of economic and geopolitical challenges. My Perspective: Given the strong bearish structure, EMA surfing, and fundamental backdrop, I expect further downside momentum. However, the possibility of a re-distribution phase cannot be ruled out, especially if liquidity is needed to push below the 1.0000 level. Staying cautious and reactive to price action around key levels will be crucial.

GOLD Analysis (Daily Timeframe)Gold has been extremely bullish for a while, consistently breaking to the upside and creating higher highs , accompanied by the formation of demand zones that were later mitigated for continuation. The last significant move was a reaccumulation (Re-acc) phase, which revisited unmitigated demand zones. From there, we saw a bullish reaction. However, due to low year-end volume , Gold hasn't been able to break its previous high. Since then, it has been ranging in the same area. Key Observations: Bullish Volume Returning: Recently, bullish volume seems to be picking up, signaling the potential start of the next leg upward. EMA Interaction: Previously, the price was "surfing" along the EMAs, demonstrating a strong trend-following behavior. Currently, the EMAs have tightened significantly, which often signals an impending price expansion—a strong indication that volatility and directional movement may resume soon. Two Scenarios in Play: Gold may continue ranging before breaking to the upside. The current move may sustain and lead to a new high. Liquidity Trap: The reaccumulation created a cloud of liquidity , with many traders now eyeing potential sell opportunities due to: - The break to the downside. - The formation of equal highs , often misinterpreted as bearish. This could very well be a Smart Money Trap , fueling a bullish move as liquidity is taken. My Perspective: I remain optimistic about the bullish scenario , as the overall market context suggests a continuation of the upward trend. This is a critical area to watch, and I will monitor closely for confirmation of the next move.

XRP/USD 12/17/2024XRP/USD Daily Chart Analysis XRP is one of the OG altcoins that has maintained significant hype over time. • Accumulation Phase: After being dropped on Coinbase in July 2023, XRP experienced a steady decline, entering an accumulation stage that persisted through November. • Breakout and Uptrend: In mid-November, massive volume flooded into the coin, breaking it out of its accumulation phase. Following this breakout, the price entered a strong uptrend, consistently respecting the 10-day EMA. o The uptrend pushed the price +265% in just two weeks. • Consolidation and Triangle Formation: After reaching its peak, the price began consolidating sideways, forming a triangle pattern. For those who missed the initial breakout, this pattern provided a potential entry opportunity. • Current Price Action: Today, the price has broken above the triangle pattern, signaling a continuation of the uptrend. The 10-day EMA remains intact as support, reinforcing the bullish sentiment. o The MACD is in bullish territory but still below its signal line. However, the contracting MACD histogram indicates a possible MACD crossover above the signal, which could provide the momentum needed for a sharp move upward. o Expect volume to increase, similar to the initial breakout phase. ________________________________________ Trade Setup (Long Position): • Entry: 2.5427 • Stop-Loss: 2.1213, -16.57% • 1st Target: 3.6723 (+44.43%) | Risk-Reward Ratio: 2.68 • 2nd Target: Trailing the 10-day EMA on the daily chart. ________________________________________ Conclusion: With the breakout from the triangle pattern, the strong 10-day EMA support, and the improving MACD setup, XRP looks poised for another substantial move north. Volume is expected to flood in, mirroring the breakout momentum observed in mid-November.
