XMR Faces Downside Risk After Channel Break

Analyst Crypto Woodyz highlighted that Monero has moved into a bearish trend after shifting from a rising channel. The inability to sustain the recent price highs around $700 has clearly signaled a shift in trend. 

A failure to move above the $380-$400 resistance zone could set the stage for a move to $300. A further move to $270 support could also be possible if the price continues to decline in the near term.

He added that only a daily close above $420 would invalidate the short-term bearish bias. According to the analyst, the current move above $380 could be a sign of a correction rather than a reversal in the trend.

Additionally, another analyst, Token Talk, mentioned that XMR is currently approaching the upper limit of its channel. If it breaks out, it would be a confirmation of the trend’s continuation. Rejecting would indicate a reversal of the trend toward the lower channel region.
