For the day ahead

A move through to $0.06450 levels would support a bullish second half of the day. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for NEM’s XEM to breakout from the first major resistance level at $0.0663.

Barring a broad-based crypto rebound, NEM’s XEM will likely come up short of the second major resistance level at $0.0691. Sunday’s high $0.06719 would likely pin back NEM’s XEM on the day.

Failure to move through to $0.06450 levels could see NEM’s XEM fall deeper into the red. A pullback through to $0.0620 levels would bring the first major support level at $0.0615 into play before any recovery.

Barring a crypto meltdown, NEM’s XEM will likely steer well clear of sub-$0.060 levels and the second major support level at $0.0595.
