Monero’s XMR Price Support
Monero’s XMR gained 4.73% on Tuesday, partially reversing Monday’s 5.5% slide, to end the day at $167.23.
It was a particularly volatile day for Monero’s XMR and the broader cryptomarket, with Monero’s XMR sliding to an intraday low $156.4 in the early hours, with the cryptomarket finding little support at key support levels through the morning.
Monero’s XMR slid through the 38.2% FIB Retracement Level of 165.57 and 62% FIB Retracement Level of $158.02 on the way to the early morning low, while holding above the day’s first major support level at $154.3 before a mid-morning recovery kicked in, coming off the back of a market wide rally.
Moving back through the 62% FIB Retracement Level early supported a run through the 38.2% FIB Retracement Level to an intraday high $169.67 by late afternoon, Monero’s XMR managing to break through the day’s first major resistance level at $167.67 before easing back to $167.23 by the day’s end.
For the bulls, recovering through and holding above the 38.2% FIB Retracement Level would have been key, though for the near-term bullish trend to continue, Monero’s XMR will need to break back through the 23.6% FIB Retracement Level of $170.24.
At the time of writing, Monero’s XMR was down 0.58% to $166.15, with an early dip to an intraday low $164.1 calling on support at the 38.2% FIB Retracement Level of 165.57 to recover to $166 levels.
For the day ahead, a move back through to $167 levels would support a run at $170 levels and the 23.6% FIB Retracement Level of $170.24, which would support a continuation of the near-term bullish trend formed at 29th May’s swing lo 145.81.
Failure to break back through the 23.6% FIB Retracement Level of $170.24 could see Monero’s XMR come under selling pressure later in the day, with the heightened volatility across the market bringing the day’s first major support level at $159.2 into play.
Holding above the 38.2% FIB Retracement Level of $165.57 will ultimately be key through the morning, with the negative sentiment across the broader market at the time of writing, likely to see a pullback towards $160 levels and the day’s first major support level at $159.2 before any recovery.
