A key signal just appeared on the Stellar chart, and it’s one that traders remember well. The TD Sequential indicator has flashed a new “9” on the weekly timeframe, the same buy signal that triggered a massive 95% rally the last time the XLM price was sitting at these levels
Analyst Ali Martinez pointed this out along with a chart that looks almost identical to the setup earlier this year, and it’s already sparking fresh interest in what Stellar might do next.
A Familiar Buy Signal Right on Top of Stellar Support Zone
In Ali’s chart, the previous TD Sequential “9” printed when the XLM price had pulled back into the grey support band around the $0.23–$0.26 area
That signal marked the bottom of the move, and Stellar went on to almost double its price in a short period of time. Now, XLM is back inside that same support zone, and the indicator has flashed the same “9” again.

You can see how similar the structures look. The candles are pressing down into support, momentum is cooling off, and the indicator is indicating that selling pressure may be fading
For traders who follow these signals, it’s hard not to notice how closely this moment mirrors the previous breakout.
XLM Tries to Find Its Footing After a Rough Few Weeks
Stellar hasn’t had the easiest ride lately. The XLM price slipped from above $0.35 down to the mid-$0.20s, following the wider weakness seen across many altcoins
But despite the selling, XLM never broke below its major support area. That alone keeps things interesting, because this zone has acted as a launchpad more than once during the year.
Now that the TD Sequential has triggered again, the idea of a trend reversal is back on the table. It’s not a guarantee, no indicator ever is, but historically this specific setup has worked well for XLM when it happens in this region.

Will Stellar Repeat the 95% Rally?
That’s the big question. If the XLM price reacts the same way it did last time, the first level traders will watch is the $0.30 area, followed by the $0.35–$0.38 zone if momentum really picks up
A move like that would look very similar to the previous rally where the same signal played a major role. For now, everything comes down to whether Stellar can hold above support and attract enough buyers to kick-start a turnaround
The chart setup is there, the indicator is there, and the price is back in the same zone where the last big move began. The next few weeks will show whether the XLM price is ready for another run, or if this signal ends up being just another early spark.

ETH drops 0.58% in 15 minutes: derivatives liquidity contraction and proactive position reduction dominate short-term pullback
From 2026-04-19 04:30 to 2026-04-19 04:45 (UTC), within ETH’s 15-minute candlestick chart, the return recorded -0.58%, and the price range was 2321.62 to 2342.04 USDT, with an amplitude of 0.87%. The short-term selloff occurred against a backdrop of increased overall market volatility and a broad decline in the prices of major crypto assets; overall market risk appetite clearly fell, and traders’ wait-and-see sentiment strengthened.
The main driver behind this abnormal move is a sharp contraction in liquidity in the derivatives market and leveraged funds proactively reducing positions. Data shows that over the past 24 hours, the ETH/USD perpetual contract trading volume dropped 67.16% to approximately 74.87 million, open interest edged down 3.33% to 329 million, and liquidation amounts did not expand unusually. This structure indicates that the market lacks the risk of passive cascades; more funds chose to proactively step aside and wait on the sidelines, intensifying short-term selling pressure.
In addition, the long/short structure in which shorts held the upper hand (long/short ratio 47.48%:52.52%) and sentiment synchronization with the panic range reinforced the downward price trend. During the same period, major coins such as BTC and SOL also fell 2%-3.4% in tandem, further showing that this pullback was driven by system-wide risk sentiment. On-chain funds did not show any large abnormal transfers or large-scale liquidations of DeFi protocols; spot and on-chain liquidity remained generally stable, and no sudden system risk resonance was observed.
Current volatility-related risks still need close monitoring, especially as overall risk appetite continues to contract—ETH’s short-term price may face further downside probing. Watch subsequent changes in derivatives trading volume and open interest, extreme shifts in the long/short ratio and funding rate, and promptly monitor on-chain fund flows, large transfers, and any signs of amplified platform net outflows.
