For the day ahead, a hold onto $43 levels through the morning would support a run at the first major resistance level at $43.54. A broad-based crypto rally would be needed for Monero’s XMR to take a run at $44 levels and the second major resistance level at $44.24. Tuesday’s high $43.62 will likely pin Monero’s XMR back from $44 levels, in the event that the broader market fails to gain momentum through the day.
