Technical indicators send bullish signals
On the 4-hour chart, XLM broke above the sloping trend line. If $0.165 is verified as a support, the recovery may extend with the next focus on $0.18. This local resistance stopped the upside momentum in December and now it is reinforced by the 4-hour EMA100. A sustainable move above this area will open up the way to the psychological $0.2.

Downwards, the above-mentioned trend line coincides with the 4-hour EMA50 at $0.165. If it gives way, the sell-off will gain traction with the next bearish target at $0.14 and the EMA200 located on approach.
The longer-term picture confirms the importance of $0.165 with the 12-hour EMA50. It is followed by a horizontal support line at $0.15, which is a part of a descending triangle pattern.

This formation is regarded as a bearish signal as the breakdown below the horizontal support may lead to a significant 35% decline beyond $0.1. On the other hand, if the bullish breakthrough is confirmed, XLM may extend the recovery with the ultimate goal at $0.22.
