Stellar's XLM just got thrown into the crypto blender—institutional sell-pressure triggered a volatility explosion that's rattling even seasoned traders.

Whales Are Bailing

Big money moved out, fast and hard. That kind of volume doesn't slip through quietly—it echoes across every chart and sets retail nerves on edge.

Market Whiplash

Rapid-fire orders slammed the books. Bid stacks got chewed up, liquidity thinned out, and the spread gaped like a canyon. Classic institutional behavior—efficient, emotionless, and absolutely brutal for anyone caught on the wrong side.

Not even the so-called 'smart money' can time this chaos perfectly—but hey, at least their fees are tax-deductible.
