For the day ahead,

A move through to $69.40 levels would support another run at $70 levels and the first major resistance level at $70.74.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Monero’s XMR to take a run on Tuesday’s high $71.17, however.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally, Monero’s XMR will likely come up short of the second major resistance level at $72.57.
