Stellar Lumens (XLM) has retraced against Bitcoin over recent days, failing to follow other leading altcoins higher. Indicators suggest the altcoin may soon outperform Bitcoin — a sentiment in line with those shared by crypto traders.

This price action can be seen in the chart below, which shows XLM’s underperformance of BTC on the right side of the chart.
The coin is purportedly due to bounce, a Tom Demark Sequential analysis indicates. The sequential is an indicator that forms “9” and “13” candles when an asset undergoes a technical inflection point in its trend.
In XLM’s case, a “buy 9” candle was just formed. This suggests that Stellar will recover against Bitcoin in the coming days. The Tom Demark Sequential has had quite the strong performance on calling XLM price action in recent months, predicting local lows in April, late May, and early July.

One historically accurate crypto trader wrote on the matter, referencing the chart below:
“BTC. 11500-11700, then down to test the 10400-10500 support zone, which should hold for a while. Looking for longs above that level and shorts below it. Altcoins should perform very well as long as BTC stays above 10.5k -> $EOS, $XTZ, $XRP, $XLM (Stellar)…”

One trader noted that since Bitcoin keeps on failing to surmount $12,000, it could retrace towards the $9,000s. This same trader, though, noted that altcoins may hold up rather well for the time being (Stellar Lumens was not specifically mentioned).
