In a market where thousands of digital assets struggle to reclaim even a fraction of their former highs, one analyst is watching Stellar (XLM) with renewed optimism. Over the past several years, most altcoins have experienced substantial drawdowns, and many remain in long-term downtrends.
However, a recent technical analysis from veteran trader Peter Brandt has highlighted Stellar Lumens (XLM) as a possible exception, suggesting a significant move could be on the horizon.

A Rare Long-Term Base in the Altcoin Space
Citing data from CoinGecko, Brandt noted that over 3.7 million tokens are already considered dead. He added that “only about 50% of most actively traded cryptos are trading at greater than 10% of their peak value.”
In his view, more than 95% of today’s 11,000 actively traded cryptocurrencies may eventually prove worthless. Yet despite that bleak landscape, he singled out XLM, stating that it “could become a rock star.”
The chart Brandt shared presents a monthly view of Stellar (XLM) and shows a broad ascending triangle forming over multiple years. Resistance has held consistently since early 2018, and the lows have gradually trended higher, creating a rising support base that defines the lower boundary of the pattern.
This ascending triangle is a bullish continuation pattern. It reflects a market in which buyers are stepping in at increasingly higher levels, applying pressure against a ceiling that has yet to break. In XLM’s case, the current monthly candle is pressing up against that horizontal resistance once again.
The chart also shows important moving averages beginning to turn upward. The ADX indicator is at 45.17, signaling strengthening trend conditions with a peak on the horizon. Currently trading around $0.42900, Stellar (XLM) sits directly below the upper range that has capped every move since 2018.

Selective Strength in a Weak Altcoin Cycle
Brandt’s focus on Stellar (XLM) is particularly notable for his skepticism toward the altcoin sector expressed in the post. He recently confirmed alt season for the crypto market, and his comments suggest that a few assets will lead the market, with XLM expected to perform remarkably.
Unlike most cryptocurrencies languishing well below their former highs with little technical structure, XLM has built a defined base and is positioned just below a major long-term resistance level.
Many experts have shared bullish expectations for XLM, and if that resistance level breaks, the technical implications would be significant. The next target could be XLM’s all-time high of $0.9381.
