XLM: From Pet Rock to Rock Star? 🚀✨

by

Oh, the drama of the crypto world! Veteran commodity trader Peter Brandt, a man who’s seen more charts than a sailor’s seen stars, has suddenly decided that Stellar (XLM) might not be the financial equivalent of a pet rock after all. No, no—he’s now calling it a potential “rock star.” 🌟 Because, you know, nothing says ‘I’m serious’ like comparing a cryptocurrency to a washed-up 80s band.

Brandt, who probably has a magnifying glass permanently attached to his hand, has shared a chart so bullish it could make a vegan reconsider steak. Apparently, XLM is forming a symmetrical triangle, which sounds like something you’d find in a geometry textbook, not a financial forecast. But hey, who am I to judge? I once thought a 401(k) was a type of yogurt.

The token is now cozying up to the upper line of this magical triangle, which means—drumroll, please—it might just break out. 🕺 And where’s it headed? Oh, just a casual $1.51. Because why aim for the moon when you can aim for the vending machine?

XLM’s Moment to Shine (or Whine)

Remember when XLM outperformed XRP during the July rally? It was like watching the underdog finally beat the school bully. 🏆 The two tokens, usually lumped together like mismatched socks because of their association with billionaire Jed McCaleb, finally had their moment. And let’s be honest, XRP probably needs a therapist after that.

Currently, XLM is sitting pretty as the 16th biggest cryptocurrency, ahead of Chainlink (LINK) and Hedera (HBAR). But let’s not get too comfortable—it’s slipped 4% in the past week after hitting a high of $0.52 on Binance. Because, you know, even rock stars have off days. 🎸

95% of Coins: Worthless, Says Brandt (But We Already Knew That, Right?)

Meanwhile, Brandt is over here predicting that 95% of cryptocurrencies will end up as worthless as a participation trophy. He’s called some tokens “pet rocks” and “Beanie Babies,” which is rich coming from a man who probably still has a Tamagotchi in his desk drawer. 🪨🧸

Apparently, 3.7 million cryptocurrencies are already deader than disco. And half of the actively traded ones? Overvalued. But XLM, oh XLM, might just be the exception. Because, you know, rock stars don’t follow the rules. 🎤

So, will XLM flip the script and become the Mick Jagger of crypto? Or will it end up as another one-hit wonder? Only time—and Brandt’s ever-changing opinions—will tell. 🕰️
