Stellar’s XLM token extended its downturn over the past day, sliding 5% from $0.39 to $0.38 between October 8 at 15:00 and October 9 at 14:00. The selloff came amid heavy institutional activity, with volumes reaching 35.51 million — well above average levels — confirming strong distribution pressure.
The breakdown below the key $0.38 support level marked a clear shift in sentiment as trading intensified within a narrow $0.019 range. Market structure analysis showed a descending channel pattern forming, with repeated rejections near $0.38 suggesting sustained bearish control.
During the final hour of trading, from 13:13 to 14:12 on October 9, XLM shed another 1%, with significant volume spikes at 13:52 and 14:01 signaling coordinated institutional selling. Analysts said the move reflected continued liquidation across professional trading desks rather than short-term retail action.
