Since last year, Stellar (XML) has been range-bound below $0.090 overhead resistance. The overhead resistance is yet to be broken as the crypto continues to trade in a sideways trend. Each time the bulls test the overhead resistance, the market will drop either to the low of $0.050 or $0.060. Later, XLM resumes an upward move to retest the overhead resistance. This has been the market scenario. During its recent fall on March 12, the coin fell to $0.02776 low and became oversold. Buyers emerged in the oversold region to push prices upward. The market has gone up and it is approaching the high of $0.076. In the meantime, XLM is at level 64 of the daily Relative Strength Index.

However, on each resistance, the market will fall to the $42 low. The resistance has remained unbroken as the coin is compelled to a sideways move below the resistance. On the upside, a break above $48 and $50 resistance levels will propel the coin to reach a high of $60.Meanwhile, the coin above 20% range of the daily stochastic. This also indicates that the market is in a bullish momentum.

At $200 low, MKR was oversold, and buyers emerge to push the coin upward to a high of $355. However, the crypto is consolidating with the appearance of small body candlesticks like the Doji and Spinning tops. These candlesticks describe the indecision between buyers and sellers about the direction of the market. Nonetheless, the coin is above 40% range of the daily stochastic. The stochastic band is making a U-turn indicating that the bearish momentum has been exhausted.

LINK /USD Major Trend: Bullish
