A move through to $64.85 levels would give Monero’s XMR a run at the first major resistance level at $66.14. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Monero’s XMR to breakout from $64 levels. Barring a broad-based crypto rally, Monero’s XMR will likely come up short of $66 levels on the day.
Failure to move through to $64.85 levels could see Monero’s XMR slide back into the red. A fall through the morning low $63.67 would bring $62 levels into play before any recovery. Barring a crypto meltdown, the first major support level at $62.72 will likely limit the downside on the day.
In the event of a broad-based sell-off, Monero’s XMR could visit sub-$61 levels before any recovery.
