Monero (XMR) Price Is Down By 19.66% – Trends Analysis

Monero (XMR) broke the upper trend line of last week’s ascending triangle which led to uptrend movement towards the distribution zone of $151.

The price of XMR may retrace temporarily, but this does not mean that there’s not still a probability of a further uptrend this week.

XMR’s price formed the Ascending Triangle pattern

Last week XMR’s Ascending Triangle pattern showed an upward breakout.

XMR was able to break the last week’s distribution territories of $110, $120 and $130.

The price surged with the formation of strong bullish candles.

The 4-day EMA managed to cross the 50-day EMA upward on the daily chart with the price on the top of the 4-dayEMA.

The price is moving away from the 50-day EMA on the Daily chart suggesting further upward movement.

The bearish retracement could be just a temporary one, and if the distribution level of $151 gets broken, the pair will gain exposure to another strong distribution level at $184.

This week, we can still see XMR trading in the green again.

XMR is currently trading in the red at on CoinMarketCap.
