What you'll learn 👉
Total market cap analysis
Let’s first look at what the overall market is doing. As you know, all coin prices are highly correlated with bitcoin’s price action and by extension with the whole market. Every time we see a surge or plunge of the total market cap, it spills over to the individual coins and their prices.
Market has seen a mild recovery today as it defended the support at $206 billions and is now testing a sturdy resistance at $219 billions (data by Tradingview, CMC data is bigger by approx $8 billions).
Should the market break through the $219 billion zone, we could see a swift move up to the $240 billion zone, area from which we saw this horrific drop in the last week of September.
XLMUSD
As mentioned in the highlights above, XLM is consolidating right above support zone of $0.058. Should the volume pick up and overall market sees some recovery, XLM would burst through the resistances of its MAs, XLM has a free path to reach $.070.

Trading volume and buy support
Trading volumes are looking weak: reported volume in the last 24 hours was $24m and “Real 10” volume was $9m. So, the reported volume is 2.5x larger than the “Real 10” volume (trading volume on the exchanges that prevent wash trading). This means that XLM’s liquidity is mildly inflated which is pretty good value in comparison with other top coins that have their metrics inflated by huge figures (20x discrepancy is not uncommon).

Moreover, XLM comparatively has a weak buy support, according to coinmarketbook.cc. Buy support is measuring sum of buy orders at 10% distance from the highest bid price. This way we can eliminate fake buy walls and whale manipulation and see the real interest of the market in a certain coin. XLM currently has $2.9 million of buy orders measured with this method, which sets XRP buy support/market cap ratio at 0.24% which is a similarly low ratio to bitcoin and ethereum. Bitcoin and Ethereum have a 0.20% and 0.28% ratios, respectively. This novel metric indicates there are a lot of manipulations, inflated liquidity and fake orders on XLM trading pairs.
