XLM saw a strong 11% price surge today as the coin reached the $0.0813 resistance provided by the 100-days EMA. Against Bitcoin, XLM rebounded from 637 SAT to push higher and reach 718 SATS.

Key Support Levels: $0.08, $0.075, $0.07.
Key Resistance Levels: $0.086, $0.088, $0.0921.

XLM found support at the $0.0668 (.618 Fib) level toward the end of September which allowed the downtrend to reverse. Throughout October, the coin has slowly been grinding higher. Initially, it struggled to break the resistance at $0.08, which is provided by the bearish .236 Fib Retracement level.

This aforementioned resistance was penetrated today as XLM pushed higher to reach the current resistance at the 100-days EMA around $0.0814. XLM will need to break above this level to start a short-term bullish trend.
