For the day ahead,

A move through to $65.2 levels would be needed to support a 4th consecutive day in the green. A breakthrough to $65 levels would bring the first major resistance level at $65.68 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Monero’s XMR to breakout from Wednesday’s high $64.79.
