Stellar ($XLM) fell nearly 10% to $0.175 amid a broader cryptocurrency market downturn following a failed Clarity Act vote on September 16, and our machine learning algorithm suggests the price is most likely to remain where it is throughout the month.
That is, based on the forecast given by Finbold’s AI Agent, $XLM will gain on average 0.56% over the next couple of weeks, rising from $0.175 at press time to just $0.176 on September 30.
The artificial intelligence (AI) tool combined the results given by three large language models (LLMs): DeepSeek Chat, ChatGPT 5.7 Luna, and Gemini 3.5 Flash. However, not all models agreed in their forecast.
Notably, DeepSeek Chat projects $XLM at $0.181, representing a potential 3.35% increase from the reference price. ChatGPT also forecasts an advance, with a target of $0.178 and a projected gain of 1.64%.
On the other hand, Gemini 3.5 Flash takes a more cautious view, predicting that $XLM will decline to $0.170, or 3.32% below the reference price. The difference between the highest and lowest forecasts is $0.011, showing there’s some uncertainty regarding the token’s near-term direction.
Short-term $XLM price outlook
AI forecasts are estimates rather than guaranteed outcomes. In other words, their accuracy will depend on market conditions as the month progresses. For now, the outlook remains negative.
Namely, a technical breakdown below key support levels is adding to selling pressure. The token’s decline significantly outpaced Bitcoin’s (BTC) 1.42% loss, highlighting the weakness in altcoins as traders reduced exposure to riskier digital assets.
Likewise, $XLM broke below the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level at $0.178 and its 200-day simple moving average (MA) near $0.176. The move triggered stop-loss orders and algorithmic selling, while trading volume climbed 5%, suggesting elevated activity during the decline.
As mentioned, the failed Clarity Act vote on Wednesday renewed concerns surrounding monetary policy, while the Altcoin Season Index fell 18% over the past week. However, the upcoming Protocol 28 vote on September 16 could provide a network-related catalyst, but its impact on price remains uncertain.
