For the day ahead,

A move through to $53.60 levels would signal a recovery later in the day. A breakthrough to $54 levels would bring the first major resistance level at $55.05 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Monero’s XMR to break through to $54 levels.

Failure to move through $53.60 to $54 levels could see Monero’s XMR fall deeper into the red. A pullback through the morning low $53.46 would bring $52 levels into play before any recovery. Barring a crypto meltdown, we would expect sub-$52 support levels to be left untested on the day. The first major support level at $52.49 would likely limit the downside in the event of a sell-off.
