🧩 Structured plan
1. Staggered entry
First tranche: if XLM corrects to 0.45 USD–0.44 USD (ideal), buy.
Second tranche: if it breaks above 0.45 USD with solid volume, add extra position.
2. Dynamic stop-loss
Place initial stop below 0.42 USD (~–10 % from entry).
Once in profits (>0.48 USD), adjust stop to breakeven.
3. Staggered profit-taking
First target: 0.50 USD (potential +7–10 %).
Second target: 0.52 USD–0.55 USD (+12–18 %).
According to Binance, if it exceeds 0.52 USD with support, it could extend to 0.65 USD–1.11 USD.
4. Risk management
Maximum 1.5–2 % of capital per trade.
No leverage: pure spot trading.
Review daily volume, Stellar network notifications, and events (e.g., Protocol 23 voting on August 14).
5. Follow-up criteria
Breakout confirmation: daily close >0.45 USD with good volume.
If it does not exceed 0.45 USD or there is rejection at 0.47 USD, consider partial closure or repositioning according to trend.

📝 Final notes
High open interest (+127 %) and strong buying but risk of short-term overbuying.
If the resistance of ~0.45 USD is not exceeded, the price could consolidate between 0.41–0.45 USD before a next move.
Fundamentally, the adoption of PayPal USD in Stellar and bets in DeFi strengthen the case for the medium term.
