In a January 7, 2020, report from Coinmetrics, analyst Antoine Le Calvez revealed several supply and distribution failures within the Stellar Lumens network. Specifically, who really profited from the monetary inflation process?

Stellar Lumens has taken the first step towards recovery after the last two weeks of downward momentum. It currently trades at 0.04561 USD, and there has been a 5.83% hike in the value over the last 24 hours. It has witnessed three major price swings in this period and the range of the swings lies between 0.047 USD and 0.042 USD.

Stellar (XLM), at the time of writing this analysis, was trading at $0.0528 on Coinbase. Important to note that the positive intraday move has led the coin to hit a fresh 30-day high at $0.055. However, if we oversee the cumulative move of the coin, the XLM price is on a continual downswing after hitting $0.0897.

Despite already owning 80% of the total XLM supply, a new report by blockchain analytics firm Coin Metrics has revealed that the Stellar Development Foundation (SDF) is the biggest beneficiary of the XLM inflation rewards. According to the report published on Tuesday (January 7, 2020), SDF bagged a whopping 98 percent of the total XLM rewards distributed following the adoption of the XLM inflation mechanism.

Stellar is still flying the bullish flag high on Saturday in spite of the market being generally bearish. The cryptocurrency is trading more than 10% higher on the day. Stellar is the tenth largest cryptocurrency on the market with a market capitalization of $581.32 million. The trend has remained bullish since the beginning of the week; from a low around $0.0477 to the current market value of $0.0613.

Stellar (XLM), which falls just short of the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap, is having itself a bit of a run.

Stellar coin has been down by 0.089% over the last 24 hours. It has shown three major price changes in this period in the range between 0.0457 USD and 0.0444 USD.

The price trend of Stellar Lumens is on a descending stride as it falls from trading at $0.0582 to hit the support at $0.0560. The 9-day Moving Average falls in the trading channel but lacks providing active support. Similarly, the current trading price is lacking support from 21-day and 49-day Moving Average as well. The crypto market continued to trade stably yet bearish for quite some time now.

Stellar Lumens has been one of the better performing coins in the ongoing crypto market volatility. The price movements of the XLM coin over the past seven days shows the coin mostly trading with slight volatility and facing bear pressure with a fierce determination.

Stellar (XLM) is changing hands at $0.0635, down 1.6% in recent 24 hours. The coin has regained the 10th position in the global cryptocurrency rating compiled by CoinMarketCap. Stellar's market value surpassed $1 billion thresholds on January 14 and reached $1.2 billion on Tuesday. An average daily trading volume is registered at $570 million, which is twice as much as at the beginning of January.

In the past few days, stellar lumen price gained pace above the $0.0450 resistance against the US Dollar. The XLM/USD pair even settled above the $0.0460 level and the 55 simple moving average (4-hours).

Lightnet is a technology based on the Stellar Lumens blockchain, and its focus is to replace the current payment systems like Swift and Ripple. During the first financial round, Lightnet has raised 31.2 million.

The crypto market has improved at large in the period of the last 24 hours. The XLM coin was downing at the same moment most of the time in yesterday’s chart, but from the last few hours of yesterday, the scenario was reversed. Stellar Lumens is likely to bring a colossal profit for the intraday traders. The ongoing upsurge is speculated to invite future price rally.

Stellar price was one of the few coins which had withstood the bear pressure with great gusto. The 3-month price trend shows the price starting below the baseline, but after a few days, the coin picked up steadfastly. However, the bears got the better of the coin near the end of the 3-month and the XLM price was perennially on a downward swing. The price was seen fluctuating in the range between $0.04 – $0.08.

Stellar Lumens registers moderate downside momentum over the last 24 hours. The traders of the coin were eyeing on a substantial improvement as the same was spotted between January 6 & 7. The trend took a reverse turn, and the XLM price started dropping terribly.

If you consider yourself a crypto-veteran, Stellar Lumens XLM, should require no introduction to signify its importance to the broader public cryptocurrency market. For newcomers, we'll capitalize on this opportunity for you to get a first date with Stellar as 2020 gets underway.

This past week, stellar lumen price tested the $0.0420 support area against the US Dollar. The XLM/USD pair traded as low as $0.0421 and later started an upside correction.
