<p>XLM price is still trading below its historic ATH achieved in 2021 but it just hit a new ATH in terms of open interest. The cryptocurrency has been experiencing a massive wave of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/2024/11/22/doge-hidden-bullish-divergence-heres-what-it-means/">demand</a>&nbsp;with a significant chunk of it coming from the derivatives market.</p> 
<p>Coinglass data revealed that XLM futures open interest on exchanges soared as high as $420 million in the last 24 hours.</p>

<p>For context, XLM-related futures open interest has so far outperformed its previous high of $180 million observed in April 2021.</p> 
<p>This underscored the level of demand that has prevailed so far this month especially in the derivatives segment. On top of that, the cryptocurrency’s derivatives trading volumes peaked at $10.17 billion on 24 November.</p>

<p>XLM just concluded its most bullish week of 2024. The cryptocurrency rallied by 53.52% on Saturday, resulting in a 189% total weekly gains. The bulls launched an epic charge so far in November which has for the most part been devoid of bearish resistance.</p>

<p>XLM extended it upside in the last 24 hours, soaring to a $0.63 price tag at its peak in the last 24 hours. This was its highest price tag so far in 2024. However, it pulled back slightly to its $0.54 press time price tag.</p> 
<p>The bullish assault and press time price tag meant that the cryptocurrency was only a 47% gain away from a new ATH. An interesting outcome considering that just 3 weeks ago it was just 20% away from its lowest price point in 2024.</p> 
<p>This abrupt change was courtesy of its over 600% rally so far this month. An outcome that has propelled XLM into the list of best performing cryptocurrencies of 2024.</p> 
<p>Will the rally pave the way for intense profit-taking? XLM’s pullback from its recent top is already enough evidence that&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/2024/11/21/1-67t-shib-exit-exchanges-can-shiba-inu-repeat-history-with-62-surge/">profit-taking</a>&nbsp;had already commenced. There is a significant chance that this pullback could shave off more of the recent gains in the coming days.</p> 
<p>On the other hand, XLM could still be due for more upside in the coming months. Many analysts anticipate a bullish outcome for most coins in 2025. These expectations may encourage XLM holders to continue HODLing in anticipation of higher prices.</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-stellar-lumens-s-dealings-with-the-federal-reserve"><strong>Stellar Lumens’s dealings with the Federal Reserve</strong></h2> 
<p>There is one major reason adding to the incentive to HOD. The U.S Federal Reserve has reportedly selected Ripple and Stellar Lumens as supporting infrastructure for its FedNow system.</p>

<p>The FED recognized Stellar Lumens as one of the most efficient blockchain networks in terms of speed and low fees. These qualities reportedly fit the bill for its FedNow initiative.</p> 
<p>More importantly, the development could pave the way for more organic demand for the XLM cryptocurrency. An outcome that could raise its floor price and build on the current demand.</p> 
<p>This development is also expected to provide more publicity for the Stelllar Lumens network. In other words, it could potentially pave the way for more adoption in the future.</p> 
<p>Regardless of these outcomes, the market will undoubtedly yield directional volatility. Major pullbacks will thus be part of the game moving forward.</p>
