<a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/?s=stellar" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Stellar</a> (XLM) has experienced a significant shift in market dynamics following its impressive 100% surge last week.
The cryptocurrency’s derivatives market shows clear signs of cooling, with Open Interest (OI) dropping dramatically from its all-time high of $339 million to $209 million, signaling a potential end to its recent bullish momentum.
The sharp decline in Open Interest represents the closure of derivative positions worth approximately $130 million, coinciding with a 10% price decrease in the last 24 hours.
This reduction in derivatives market activity typically suggests diminishing buying pressure, raising concerns about XLM’s ability to maintain prices above the $0.45 level.

Adding to the bearish outlook, Stellar’s social dominance metrics paint a concerning picture. The indicator, which measures discussion volume relative to the top 100 cryptocurrencies, has plummeted from 3.13% to 1.73%.
This significant decrease suggests market participants are shifting their attention elsewhere, potentially leading to reduced demand for <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/?s=XLM" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">XLM</a>.
Technical analysis further supports the possibility of continued downside. The Money Flow Index (MFI) has retreated from overbought territory, traditionally a precursor to price corrections.
If current market conditions persist, XLM could find itself testing support at $0.28, with further potential downside to $0.17 if the $0.22 support fails to hold.
However, the situation isn’t entirely bearish. A revival in buying pressure across both derivatives and spot markets could invalidate this bearish outlook, potentially driving XLM toward the $0.64 level.
The coming days will be crucial in determining whether Stellar can maintain its recent gains or succumb to mounting selling pressure.
