For the day ahead,

A hold above the first major resistance level at $50.61 would support a run at $51 levels later in the day.

In the event of a broad-based crypto rally, $52 levels could come into play before any pullback.

Failure to hold above the first major resistance level could see Monero’s XMR hit reverse later in the day. A fall through to $49 levels would be likely before any recovery. Barring a broad-based crypto sell-off, we would expect Monero’s XMR to steer clear of the first major support level at $48.32.
