XMR/USD Market Reaction
After the delisting announcement, Monero’s price dropped by nearly 25%. Despite a partial recovery, the price remains significantly lower, emphasizing the market’s responsiveness to exchange listings and regulatory actions.
The widening Bollinger bands on the 24-hour XMRUSD price chart indicate high volatility, with upper and lower bands touching $185.4384 and $126.3983, respectively.
A short-term price recovery is possible if a green candlestick forms above the lower band and the price breaks through the $150 resistance level, indicating a potential bullish trend.
With an RSI rating of 35.54, the Monero market appears oversold and poised for a price increase. However, caution is advised as the RSI is still below the 50 level, suggesting the presence of bearish momentum.
The MFI rating of 41.52, pointing south, signifies ongoing selling pressure in the Monero market, potentially limiting short-term price increases as money is being withdrawn rather than flowing in.
