Trading volumes surge this week amid India's regulatory delisting order
Monero saw significant regulatory attention when India's authorities ordered the delisting of privacy coins, directly impacting the asset. Trading volumes have since surged, highlighting increased activity and resilience in the face of these regulatory challenges. Ongoing software development also continues to support Monero, marked by the release of Monero Portable 0.18.4.5, which enables broader integration through the PortableApps.com Platform.
Consolidation prevails as weekly momentum signals remain mixed
On the weekly timeframe, XMR remains in consolidation, trading below the MA-20 but supported by the MA-50 at $340.77, while the MA-200 at $205.42 provides a strong long-term base. Weekly oscillators—including RSI at 46.64, CCI at -77.33, and Stochastic RSI at 9.21—reflect oversold or selling conditions, while the ADX signals a strong prevailing trend. Bearish short-term signals are contrasted by a generally resilient long-term structure, with the MACD delivering a neutral outlook. Volatility stands at 12.28%, and primary support is identified at $305.00, with resistance around $385.00.
Sideways movement expected as breakout risk hinges on momentum
For the next 5 to 7 trading days, XMR is expected to range between $305.00 and $385.00 as consolidation persists. The probability of a bullish breakout above resistance is estimated at 25%, with further upside only likely if momentum indicators improve. The baseline scenario anticipates sideways movement within the established range. Should bearish momentum intensify, a breakdown below $305.00 could see XMR challenge lower support levels.
Last time, analysts noted that Monero is trading just above its 20-day moving average yet remains under both its 50-day and 200-day averages, reflecting mild short-term support but persistent medium- and long-term selling pressure. Momentum signals are mixed, with strong intraday selling indicated by the MACD, neutral RSI, and overbought oscillators, while immediate resistance stands near the Ichimoku Kijun and support just below, keeping XMR confined to a broad range with continued downside risk.
