This past week, stellar lumen price declined heavily below the $0.0800 support area against the US Dollar. The XLM/USD pair even traded below the $0.0750 and $0.0725 support levels. Moreover, there was a close below $0.0725 and the 55 simple moving average (4-hours). Finally, the price broke the $0.0700 support level and traded to a new monthly low at $0.0651.

Besides, the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the last major drop from the $0.0796 high to $0.0651 low is also aligned near the $0.0724 level. More importantly, there is a crucial bearish trend line forming with resistance near $0.0740 on the 4-hours chart. Therefore, the price is likely to face a strong resistance near the $0.0725 and $0.0740 levels.
A successful close above the $0.0750 resistance is needed for upside continuation. The next key resistance is near the $0.0768 level, above which the price might surge towards the $0.0815 level.

The chart indicates that XLM price is clearly forming a breakout pattern with resistance near $0.0740 and support near $0.0680. As long as the price is below the $0.0725 level and the 55 SMA, there is a risk of a downside break in the coming sessions.
