Monero Price Key Highlights

Monero price recently busted through a long-term descending trend line to signal that a reversal is in the works.

Price hit resistance on its way up and has since completed a pullback to draw more buying momentum in.

A continuation of the climb could take Monero to the Fib extension levels marked in the chart below.

Monero looks ready to resume its climb as it completed a retest of the broken resistance and is setting its sights on extension levels.

Technical Indicators Signals

The 100 SMA is still below the longer-term 200 SMA to indicate that the path of least resistance is to the downside. In other words, there’s still a chance for the selloff to resume from here, especially since the 100 SMA is holding as a dynamic inflection point.

Stochastic is pulling up from the oversold region, though, so a return in bullish momentum could be seen. In that case, Monero could climb to the 61.8% extension at the swing high or the resistance closer to the 50% extension.

Stronger bullish momentum could take Monero up to the 78.6% extension at $148.50 which lines up with the 200 SMA dynamic resistance. The full extension is located near $163. RSI is also pointing up and moving north to signal a continuation of bullish pressure.

Monero popped higher as litecoin founder Charlie Lee expressed interest in this particular altcoin. However, there is some degree of hesitation among buyers as Monero is prepping for a hard fork. In a Reddit post, Monero shared details on its network upgrade:
