Stellar (XLM) Price Prediction: Analysts Rarely Call Out a $20 Target, the Real Pump Has Yet to Begin

Stellar (XLM) has recently experienced an astonishing pump, with a monthly increase exceeding 100%. Today (23rd), it is reported at 0.4703 USD during the European morning session. Analysts have rarely called a target price of 20 USD for XLM, emphasizing that the real upward trend has not yet begun. But is this really possible?

Crypto analyst C-Zar detailed his bullish outlook on XLM in the YouTube channel Gets Crypto. He pointed out that the price trend of the token has been consolidating for a while, much like many top cryptocurrencies. According to him, that "boring" phase is about to end, and the market is entering an important breakout window.

C-Zar believes that this is a moment for wise investors to buy rather than sell. He stated that Stellar has "impeccable potential" and could surprise many during the next bull market.

XLM target price may soon reach 2.46 USD

C-Zar explained through charts that XLM is gaining momentum after a long period of consolidation. He stated that this is similar to the situation before large rebounds in previous cycles. According to him, from the bear market lows to the expected Fibonacci target, XLM is preparing to rise significantly for the first time between $2.20 and $2.46 by the end of August.

He emphasized that this is just the first wave.

C-Zar continued to point out that compared to the previous overbought moments of the RSI indicator, when XLM enters this range, the trend usually moves quickly. He reminded the audience that even if the price reaches 2 dollars or more, it will not drop directly and level off. On the contrary, the price will experience a narrow consolidation for 4 to 6 weeks, followed by further increases. He believes that the current pattern is similar to the early stages of past bull markets, suggesting that this time will be the same.

C-Zar also explained that the monthly RSI indicator has not even reached overbought levels yet. Historically, XLM and other major tokens only reach cyclical peaks after overbought signals appear. Therefore, he believes that a real bullish trend has not yet begun. For him, the period from now until early 2026 could be the explosive period for XLM.

Analysts estimate that the XLM price will break through 20 USD

C-Zar elaborated on his long-term forecast, pointing out that many people consider 2 dollars or 3 dollars as the peak price, which he believes is too conservative. His long-term target for XLM is that by the end of this market cycle, the price will be between 20 dollars and 40 dollars, and he expects this market cycle to end in late Q1 or early Q2 of 2026.

He clarified that this is not financial advice, and the timing of the pump for different cryptocurrencies may vary. However, he believes that XLM has all the conditions for a significant rise. Strong RSI indicators, previous price trends, and the overall cyclical trend all suggest that the price of XLM will surge. For investors hesitating whether to sell early, C-Zar warned that selling prematurely might mean missing out on real profits. Instead, he advises investors to be patient and maintain long-term confidence.

The message he conveyed is very clear: the time for an exit strategy has not yet come. We are still in the accumulation stage. As he said, now is the time to "buy on dips and hold on highs, so that one day we can sell when the price pumps." And for XLM, the price increase could exceed 20 dollars.

If the market performs similarly to previous cycles and the momentum in August continues to strengthen as expected, then C-Zar's prediction may not be as crazy as it sounds. Only time will tell, but XLM has clearly become the focus of attention for many investors once again.
