For Monero’s XMR, the extended bearish trend formed at late April’s swing hi $298 remained firmly intact, Monero’s XMR continuing to fall well short of the 23.6% FIB Retracement Level of $99, following 15th December’s swing lo $37.18 and struggle to break back through to $60 levels, last struck in late November.

At the time of writing, Monero’s XMR was down 0.06% to $49.11, with moves through the early morning seeing Monero’s XMR recover from a start of a day morning low $48.71 to a morning high $49.25 before easing back, the day’s major support and resistance levels left untested early on.

For the day ahead, a move back through the morning high to $50 levels would signal a possible afternoon rally to bring $51 levels and the day’s first major resistance level at $51.24 into play, with Thursday’s 52.11 high likely to pin Monero’s XMR back from a breakout to $53 levels and the second major resistance level at $53.34 on the day.

Failure to move back through the morning high to $50 levels could see Monero’s XMR pullback through the morning low $48.71 to bring $47 levels and the first major support level at $47.91 into play before any recovery, sub-$47 support levels unlikely to be in play through the day.
