The Stellar crypto was bullish for the greater part of the year until the second week of August when it turned bearish following its announcement of a partnership with Moneygram and Honeycoin. After that development, Stellar launched its cash-in and cash-out services in various countries including Kenya, Senegal, Uganda and Canada.

The rise in its selling pressure within that period led to the decline of its price. However, since the [start of July the Stellar price](https://www.gate.io/price-prediction/stellar-xlm "start of July the Stellar price") maintained an ascending consolidation within a very narrow market channel.

In previous months XML faced much resistance at the $0.105 level. However, it had a breakout when it reached a new higher low in June. After that there was a Stellar price bounce which resulted in its upward momentum leading to a new yearly peak of $0.195 in July.

However, its price has since fallen again and is moving towards $0.105 where it is likely to face a strong support, which may force it to reverse upward to break its four week downward trend. If it reverses and rises above $0.12 it may face a strong resistance at $0.18.
