How to Buy Stellar’s Lumen

Stellar’s Lumen Price Support

Stellar’s Lumen tumbled by 13.31% on Thursday, following a 0.02% gain on Wednesday, to end the day at $0.11021, the reversal wiping out the gains made through the start of the year.

A bullish start to the day saw rise to an early morning intraday high $0.13222, with Stellar’s Lumen breaking through the first major resistance level at $0.1284 and second major resistance level at $0.1308 before getting hit by a cryptomarket meltdown.

Stellar’s Lumen tumbled through the day’s major support levels to a late afternoon intraday low $0.1050 before steadying to move back through to $0.11 levels, the only positive from the day being a hold onto $0.10 levels on the slide.

The bearish trend formed at late October’s swing hi $0.305 remained intact, with Thursday’s sell-off and last week’s losses leaving Stellar’s Lumen well short of the 23.6% FIB of $0.1434.

At the time of writing, Stellar’s Lumen was down 0.28% to $0.1099, with moves through the early morning seeing Stellar’s Lumen recover from a start of a day morning low $0.10827 to strike a morning high $0.1109 before easing back, the day’s major support and resistance levels left untested early on.

For the day ahead, a move back through the morning high $0.1109 to $0.116 levels would support a run at the day’s first major resistance level at $0.1266, with Stellar’s Lumen needing support from the broader market later in the day to break through to $0.12 levels, plenty of resistance likely to be in the way of a break out from current levels following Thursday’s sell-off.

Failure to move back through to $0.11 levels by the early afternoon could see Stellar’s Lumen pullback deeper into the red, a fall through the morning low $0.10827 bringing the day’s first major support level at $0.0994 into play, with the broader market needing to be back in meltdown mode for sub-$0.10 support levels to come into play.
