Stellar XLM slides to 200-day SMA and lower Bollinger Band across three sessions
Blockchain.News reported XLM falling from $0.19 to $0.18 between October 13-15, testing its 200-day SMA and lower Bollinger Band while trading below all shorter-term moving averages.
Why it matters
The convergence of price at the 200-day SMA and lower Bollinger Band represents a technical test of Stellar's long-term trend support. A confirmed daily close below $0.18 would shift the structure from a corrective test to a trend break, though the single-source reporting limits confirmation.
