Stellar Lumens (XLM) Outperforms XRP

It can be recalled that XRP lead the bullish rally after the announcement of the ruling of a long-standing lawsuit, which absolutely went in favor of XRP and its teeming holders. Stellar Lumens (XLM) also shared the spoils of the victory to hit highs of $0.19 last week.

Although XRP has moved farther beyond the prices it traded at before the Ripple-SEC lawsuit’s summary judgment was made public, XLM is the one outperforming the rest of the top 20 digital tokens at the moment.

At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $0.83, with a relatively 5% price upsurge in the last 24 hours, according to CoinGecko. Meanwhile, XLM skyrocketed from lows of $0.136 to an intraday peak of $0.176 on Thursday. On Tuesday, XLM/USD rebounded off the demand zone near $0.12 to give bulls total control of the trend today.

Current XLM’s bullish outlook can be largely attributed to the technical picture and the sentiment catalyzed by the recent great news in the Stellar ecosystem.
