How to Buy Monero’s XMR

Monero’s XMR Price Support

Monero’s XMR fell by 1.17% on Sunday, partially reversing Saturday’s 3.12% gain, to end the week up 1.69% at $58.23.

Tracking the broader market through the morning, Monero’s XMR moved through to an early morning intraday high $61.00, coming up against the day’s first major resistance level at $61.08 before hitting reverse.

A broad based cryptomarket reversal weighed through the morning, with Monero’s XMR falling to an intraday low $57.07 before steadying, the first major support level at $56.45 left untested on the day.

Bucking the broader market trend through the afternoon, Monero’s XMR recovered to a late $60.74, coming up just shy of the day’s high before easing back, a negative bias across the broader market pinning Monero’s XMR back from a full recovery.

In spite of the week’s minor gain, the extended bearish trend remained firmly intact, with Monero’s XMR continuing to fall well short of the 23.6% FIB Retracement Level of $110, with last Tuesday’s new swing lo $51.29 giving the bears the upper hand going into the final month of the year.

At the time of writing, Monero’s XMR was down 3.28% to $56.32, moves through the early hours seeing Monero’s XMR fall from a start of a day morning high $58.84 to a morning low $55.96 before recovering to $56 levels. The reversal saw Monero’s XMR slide through the first major support level at $56.53, while steering clear of $54 levels and the second major support level at $54.84.

For the day ahead, a move back through the first major support level at $56.53 would signal a possible afternoon rebound, with Monero’s XMR needing to move through to $58 levels to go full circle and bring the day’s first major resistance level at $60.46 into play before any pullback.

Failure to move back through the first major support level could see Monero’s XMR take another hit later in the day, a fall back through the morning low $55.96 likely to bring the day’s second major support level at $54.84 into play before any recovery, the slide coming as investors respond to a wave of news of certain jurisdictions moving ahead on tightening rules and regulations for the cryptomarket.
