Stellar Price: Trends and Highlights for August 26

We can see two support areas, at 600 and 400 satoshis, respectively.
The price is trading slightly above the first one.
Therefore, the current level is suitable for the initiation of a reversal.
Current Pattern
A closer look at price movement reveals that the XLM price is trading inside an ascending triangle.
The ascending triangle is considered a bullish pattern.
At the time of writing, XLM was decreasing towards the support line after touching the resistance on August 25.
Will XLM break out?
XLM Price Possible Uptrend
In order to determine the likelihood of a breakout, we will incorporate moving averages (MA) and the MACD into the analysis.
The XLM price is trading above the 10- but below the 20-day MAs.
However, the 10-day MA is turning upward, possibly setting up a bullish cross.
In the MACD, this bullish cross has already occurred.
Individually, this is not a sufficient sign to predict a breakout.
However, when we combine it with the creation of a bullish pattern and a significant support area, we can confidently say that a breakout is likely.
Resistance Areas

It is found at 750 satoshis.
According to our analysis, the XLM price is likely to reach it.
