The afternoon rally saw Stellar’s Lumen move through to an intraday high 0.2973, breaking back through the day’s first major resistance level at $0.2909 before easing back, resistance at $0.30 holding Stellar’s Lumen back from a run at the 23.6% FIB Retracement Level of $0.3155.

While Wednesday’s losses were reversed, failing break through the 23.6% FIB Retracement Level reaffirmed the bearish trend formed at 29th April’s swing hi $0.46547, Stellar’s Lumen needing to move through the 38.2% FIB Retracement Level of $0.3441 to $0.36 levels to begin a bearish trend reversal.

At the time of writing, Stellar’s Lumen was up 1.8% to $0.2968 to lead the way through the early morning among the majors, with an early dip to a morning low $0.28571 holding well above the day’s first major support level at $0.2726 before making a move through to a morning high $0.3005.

For the day ahead, a move back through to $0.30 levels and a break through the day’s first major resistance level at $0.3039 will be key to support a 2nd consecutive day of gains, with a run at the 23.6% FIB Retracement Level likely to support a bullish run through the weekend.

Failure to break through the day’s first major resistance level will likely see Stellar’s Lumen pullback through the start of the day’s $0.28571 low to bring the day’s first major support level at $0.2726 into play, with $0.25 levels also in play should sentiment across the market deteriorate through the afternoon.

While it’s a bullish start to the day, the bearish trend remains intact and investors may look to lock in profits ahead of the weekend and the possible release of any damaging news across the wires.
