For Monero’s XMR, a 2^nd consecutive day in the red reaffirmed the extended bearish trend formed at late April’s swing hi $298, Monero’s XMR continuing to fall well short of the 23.6% FIB Retracement Level of $99, following 15^th December’s swing lo $37.18.

At the time of writing, Monero’s XMR was down 3.18% to $47.23, with moves through the early morning seeing Monero’s XMR fall from a morning high $48.84 to a morning low $46.93 before steadying, the day’s major support and resistance levels left untested early on.

For the day ahead, a move back through the morning high $48.84 to $49 levels would be needed to bring $50 levels and the day’s first major resistance level at $51.69 into play, with sentiment across the broader market needing to materially improve to support a break through to $50 levels later in the day.

Failure to move through the morning high $48.84 to $49 levels could see Monero’s XMR take a bigger hit later in the day, a fall through the morning low $46.93 bringing the first major support level at $46.15 and $45 levels into play before any recovery, the second major support level at $43.51 unlikely to be tested on the day.
