The post Stellar Drops 5% Breaking Below $0.32 Support appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Stellar’s XLM tumbled 5% on Tuesday, falling from $0.3284 to $0.3119 after breaking below a critical $0.32 support level that had held for weeks. The drop marked one of XLM’s sharpest declines in recent sessions, underscoring renewed bearish momentum in a market driven largely by technical factors rather than fundamentals. The selloff accelerated around Monday’s 15:00 session as volume spiked to 53.9 million—roughly 74% above the 24-hour average of 21.6 million—signaling heightened selling pressure. The inability to reclaim $0.32 despite multiple rebound attempts confirmed a decisive technical breakdown, with the token now struggling to stabilize near $0.3116. Data shows selling intensified in the early afternoon, pushing XLM as low as $0.311. However, support has begun to form near $0.3100, where repeated tests suggest institutional buyers may be accumulating. Analysts see this level as the final line of defense before deeper declines. The move was largely technical in nature, with algorithmic selling triggered by the breach of $0.32 and increased participation from European traders adding to downside momentum. Market observers now watch whether XLM can hold above $0.3100—a failure to do so could open the door to further weakness in the near term. XLM/USD (TradingView) Key Technical Levels Signal Continued Pressure for XLM Support/resistance: Critical floor at $0.3100 with multiple successful tests during Asian hours. Key resistance rebuilt at $0.3337 following high-volume rejection session. Immediate battle zone centers on $0.3116 consolidation area. Volume analysis Volume explosion to 53.9M exceeded 24-hour average by 74% during breakdown. Peak selling reached 1.7M during 13:58 hourly candle before stabilization. European session volume acceleration suggests continued institutional interest. Chart patterns Clear breakdown pattern with consecutive lower highs established over 24 hours. Dramatic reversal from $0.313 resistance confirms bearish momentum shift. Consolidation pattern at $0.3116 provides short-term stabilization signal. Targets & risk/reward: Immediate support cluster: $0.3100-$0.3116 zone… The post Stellar Drops 5% Breaking Below $0.32 Support appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

The Bitcoin mining industry is becoming increasingly competitive, with so-called tier-2 operators closing the gap on established leaders in realized hashrate — a sign of a more level playing field following the 2024 halving.According to The Miner Mag, companies such as Cipher Mining, Bitdeer and HIVE Digital have rapidly expanded their realized hashrate after several years of infrastructure growth, narrowing the distance to top players like MARA Holdings, CleanSpark and Cango.“Their ascent highlights how the middle tier of public miners — once trailing far behind — has rapidly scaled production since the 2024 halving,” The Miner Mag wrote in its latest Miner Weekly newsletter. Read more
