It's gone from bad to worse for Stellar's Lumen, with heavy losses early on raising the prospects of a visit to sub-$0.08 levels.
Stellar’s Lumen slumped by 7.2% on Monday, following on from a 4.32% slide on Sunday, to end the day at $0.08775.
Bullish moves were non-existent through the day, with Stellar’s Lumen seeing the start of a day intraday high $0.09456 fall well short of the day’s first major resistance level at $0.0991.
A sell-off through the day saw Stellar’s Lumen slide through the first major support level at $0.0933 and second major support level at $0.0908 to call on support at the third major support level at $0.085 before steadying.
The reversal came off the back of pressure from the broader market, with all the majors seeing red through the day.
Following Monday’s sell-off and new swing lo $0.085, the extended bearish trend was reaffirmed, with Stellar’s Lumen continuing to fall well short of the 23.6% FIB Retracement Level of $0.1369. For the bulls, the late September swing hi $0.305 remains an even more distant bull target.
At the time of writing, Stellar’s Lumen was down by 2% to $0.08599, with moves through the early morning seeing Stellar’s Lumen slide from a start of day morning high $0.08811 to a morning low $0.08501 before steadying. The major support and resistance levels were left untested early on.
For the day ahead, a move back through the morning high $0.08811 to $0.089 levels would support a run at $0.09 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $0.0932 into play before any pullback. We will expect Stellar’s Lumen to face plenty of resistance on the way through to $0.090 levels, in the event of a recovery, to pin Stellar’s Lumen back from more material gains on the day.
Failure to move through the morning high to $0.089 levels could see Stellar’s Lumen fall deeper into the red, with a slide through the morning low $0.08501 bringing the first major support level at $0.0836 into play before any recovery. We would expect the second major support level at $0.0795 to be left untested on the day, barring a broad-based crypto market meltdown, which is plausible.
