For the day ahead

A move through the morning high to $0.0617 levels would support a run at the first major resistance level at $0.0634.

NEM’s XEM would need the support of the broader market, however, to break out from $0.0610 levels.

In the event of a broad-based crypto rebound, Thursday’s high $0.06437 would pin NEM’s XEM back from a run at the second major resistance level at $0.0661.

Failure to move through to $0.0617 levels could see NEM’s XEM fall deeper into the red.

A fall through the morning low $0.059779 would bring the first major support level at $0.0590 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off through the day, NEM’s XEM should steer well clear of the second major support level at $0.0573.
