Stellar traded at $0.153 at 18:23 UTC, down 8.5% in 24 hours, 11.4% in seven days and 29% in 30 days (CoinGecko). Bitcoin lost 5.6% over the same 24 hours. The trigger came from outside: a Nasdaq chip rout that hit every large coin.
The full background is in our piece on the Bitcoin crash. Here is what it means for XLM: which levels count, what could change the picture and how to hedge.
We found no Stellar-specific trigger for Thursday's drop. The daily returns of XLM and Bitcoin over the past 30 days have a correlation of 0.84 by our calculation from Binance data, so XLM mostly follows the market. Liquidations of leveraged longs across crypto added pressure. For the project itself, recent news includes the Protocol 30 vote on Stellar.
The next date for the network is November 23, when validators are scheduled to vote on activating Protocol 30, called Bell, on the mainnet; the date can still move. Holders need no migration, and old addresses stay valid.

XLM already trades below its 200-day average, so the 30-day low is the nearest floor.
Level What it is $0.192 50-day average $0.183 200-day average $0.153 Price now $0.151 30-day low (Binance) $0.876 All-time high, down 83% since thenOur assessment, not a forecast: as long as Bitcoin holds the $75,000 area, a move back toward the 50-day average stays possible. If that area breaks, the 30-day low is the first level at risk.

Remove leverage first, because a falling price then lowers only your book value. A stablecoin share or a short of the same size reduces the risk, with its own costs. Buying in small instalments spreads your entry price. Short positions earn on falling prices but can wipe out your margin quickly. Details are in our Bitcoin crash guide.
