For the day ahead

NEM’s XEM would need to hold onto $0.055 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $0.0565.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for NEM’s XEM to break out from Sunday’s high $0.056112.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally, Sunday’s high and the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside on the day.

Failure to hold onto $0.055 levels could see NEM’s XEM take a hit on the day.

A fall through to $0.05450 would bring the first major support level at $0.0537 into play before any recovery.

Barring a crypto meltdown, NEM’s XEM should steer well clear of sub-$0.53 levels and the second major support level at $0.0522.
