Biggest winners
Stellar [XLM]
Stellar Lumens [XLM] has dominated the market this past week, emerging as the top-performing cryptocurrency with an incredible 190% surge.
Over the last seven days, XLM’s price action was marked by steady gains followed by rapid acceleration, particularly after crossing the psychological $0.30 mark.

The daily chart reveals a parabolic move, with XLM breaking multiple resistance levels. The 50-day and 200-day SMAs at $0.14 and $0.10 were decisively breached earlier this week, triggering a golden cross.
The RSI stands at 94.98, deep into overbought territory, suggesting the possibility of a short-term correction as traders lock in profits.
Meanwhile, the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator remained positive at 0.40, reflecting robust inflows of capital into XLM, which could sustain its bullish trajectory in the near term.
Hedera [HBAR]
Hedera Hashgraph [HBAR] has had a stellar performance over the past week, marking a remarkable 76% price increase, positioning it as the second-highest gainer in the crypto market.

Also, The Choppiness Index [CHOP] reading of 50.54 highlighted consolidation, signaling that the token might remain range-bound in the short term.
