Stellar (XLM) is eyeing its first major golden cross of the year. The MA 50 has touched the MA 200 on the daily chart, with traders now watching for a crossover in the coming days.
If the MA 50 crosses above the MA 200, this will confirm a golden cross, and vice versa will imply a death cross, which is a bearish signal.
Given the current setup and with the MA 50 trending upwards, it is more likely that a golden cross will emerge.
Stellar saw a significant increase as positive developments boosted its price, which is up 47.3% in the last 30 days. A golden cross signal on the XLM price chart will mark the first of its kind in 2026, with the last one occurring in July 2025.
The last golden cross for Stellar coincided with overbought conditions. XLM had rallied before it, and the golden cross appeared shortly after it rose to $0.52 in July 2025. The weeks that followed saw a drop in XLM price.

How XLM holds above its daily Moving Averages 50 and 200 will be watched, as this will help sustain its current uptrend, with the potential to retest $0.3.
