Stellar Development Foundation invests $3 million Settle Network

The cryptocurrency firm wants to gain ground as the go-to platform for fiat-to-crypto in the Latin American region. The team chose to build on Stellar because it offers global interoperability, which will allow Settle Network to be competitive.
Stellar fights for higher support as declines to $0.16 beckon
XLM was rejected slightly above $0.2 amid the widespread cryptocurrency gains. A falling wedge pattern breakout also contributed to the bullish price action. However, a correction followed, pulling the token under $0.2.
Meanwhile, Stellar is attempting to find support at $0.18. Stellar is trading at $0.18 amid a bearish building momentum. Closing the day under the immediate support ($0.18) would trigger further losses. The bearish leg may retest the support at $0.16, but if push comes to shove, XLM/USD could revisit the 50 Simple Moving Average currently at $0.132.

It is essential to realize that Stellar will resume the uptrend if support at $0.18 holds firmly. Stability in the market will go a long way in encouraging more buyers to join the market. On the other hand, price action past $0.2 would shift the attention to the next crucial target at $0.24.
