How to Buy NEM’s XEM

NEM’s XEM Price Resistance

NEM’s XEM rallied by 6.28% on Tuesday, following on from Monday’s 2.16% rise, to end the day at $0.12235.

A start of a day pullback to an intraday low $0.11368 steered clear of the day’s first major support level at $0.1117, with a broad based cryptomarket rally seeing NEM’s XEM break through the day’s major resistance levels to a mid-day intraday high $0.13116. A reversal through the afternoon saw NEM’s XEM ease back through the third major resistance level at $0.1268 and second major resistance level at $0.1206 to an afternoon low $0.11873, holding above the day’s first major resistance level at $0.1179.

Recovering late in the day NEM’s XEM broke back through the second major resistance level at $0.1206 to end the day at $0.12235.

In spite of the gains through the early part of the week, NEM’s XEM failed to take a run at the 23.6% FIB Retracement Level of $0.1832 to leave intact the extended bearish trend formed at late April’s swing hi $0.46547, the crypto bulls needing a break out from the 23.6% FIB Retracement Level of $0.1832 to $0.23 levels to begin forming a bearish trend reversal.

At the time of writing, NEM’s XEM was up 1.1% to $0.1229, with NEM’s XEM moving from a start of a day morning low $0.12095 to a morning high $0.12644 before easing back, the moves through the early morning leaving the day’s major support and resistance levels untested.

For the day ahead, holding above $0.1224 would support a move through the early morning high $0.12644 to bring $0.13 levels and the day’s first major resistance level at $0.1311 into play, though for NEM’s XEM to move back through Tuesday’s $0.13116 high, sentiment across the broader market will need to improve, with Bitcoin likely to be the barometer for NEM’s XEM through the day.

Failure to hold above $0.1224 through the morning could see NEM’s XEM pullback through the morning low $0.12095 to bring $0.11 levels and the day’s first major support level at $0.1136 into play before any recovery, NEM’s XEM unlikely to test sub-$0.11 support levels barring materially negative news hitting the wires.
