For the day ahead, a move back through the second major support level would support a recovery of the morning losses.

Failure to move back through the second major support level could see Stellar’s Lumen remain deep in the red through the day. A pullback through the third major support level at $0.0741 could bring sub-$0.070 levels into play near-term.
Direction through the remainder of the day will likely come from Litecoin, which has also taken a hit to reverse recent gains.
