Monero’s technical picture
XMR/USD bulls took the price above a critical resistance of $61.50 created by a confluence of SMA50 (Simple Moving Average) and the upper line of the Bollinger Band on a daily chart. This development allowed for an extended upside movement towards $62.00 and opened up the way to the next strong barrier of $66.39 (October 26 high). Once it is out of the way, the bullish momentum is likely to gain traction with the next focus on psychological $70.00 and $71.50 (SMA100 daily).
On the downside, initial support is created by the above-said SMA50 at $61.50, with the next strong barrier located on the approach to psychological $60.00. Once it is out of the way, the downside is likely to gain traction with the next focus on $56.00 ( the middle line of the Bollinger Band on a daily chart).
