Stellar (XLM)

cryptocurrency.com.tr reports that Bitcoin and Ethereum have dipped to $77,000 and $2,400 respectively, shifting market attention to altcoins. Stellar (XLM) has printed a bullish inverse head and shoulders pattern on its 4-hour chart. Analysts are increasingly eager for an altseason peak this year, having missed the pump in the previous cycle.
This optimism is driven by a 5-year supercycle theory predicting a correction followed by a bullish revival. The theory suggests Bitcoin and altcoins will reach new all-time high targets. Market data from October 2025 to the present shows prices reviving with promising pumps since August 2026.
Specialists in 4-year traditional bull cycles state the regular cycle is playing out normally. They confirm that the bear market bottom has already been formed. This pattern aligns with expectations for a long-term bullish trend in the current market phase.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for XLM, measured when this story was written up on 15 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
XLM is trading at $0.1916 with a 24-hour buy ratio of 51.4%, indicating a slight majority of buyers. The 4-hour buy ratio is higher at 55.2%, while the 1-hour ratio sits lower at 49.2%. Volume delta shows strong net buying over 4 hours and 24 hours, totaling over $837,000, contrasting with a negative 1-hour delta. This suggests that while short-term selling pressure exists, longer-term accumulation is actively building. The positive volume delta indicates that buy orders are outweighing sell orders over the extended timeframe. CVD remains negative at -$475,033, showing that recent aggressive buying has not fully offset prior selling pressure.
The latest daily buy ratio of 47.8% sits at the 16th percentile of the last 324 days, against a median of 50.7% - weaker buying than most days.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for XLM, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, XLM saw a 7-day average buy ratio of 50.5%, with the latest day slightly above average by 0.9 points. Trading volume was 1.99 times the average, indicating significantly higher activity than usual. The coin experienced a price change of -1.1% over eight days despite a total volume delta of nearly $3 million. This volume spike contrasts with the modest price movement, suggesting accumulation rather than a trend change. Compared to the 24-hour data, the weekly volume is substantially elevated, marking this as an unusual day for trading activity.
