Monero Price Forecast: XMR bulls target double-digit gains amid market volatility

• Monero price stabilizes after retesting and bouncing from its ascending trendline, eyeing a recovery ahead.
• Coinglass data shows that the XMR long-to-short ratio reaches the highest level in over a month, indicating more traders are betting Monero’s price to rise.
• A daily candlestick close below $195.72 would invalidate the bullish thesis.

Despite the recent market correction this week, Monero’s (XMR) price stabilizes above $220 at the time of writing on Wednesday after retesting its ascending trendline and finding support around  $195 on Monday. Coinglass data shows that the XMR long-to-short ratio reaches the highest level in over a month, indicating more traders are betting Monero’s price will rally.

Monero price looks promising 

Monero’s price bounced after retesting its 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) on Monday, closing above its ascending trendline (drawn from connecting multiple highs since mid-November). However, it declined 2.2% the next day. At the time of writing on Wednesday, it hovers around $223.51.

If XMR continues its upward trend, it could extend the rally by 18% from its current trading levels to retest its April 26, 2022, high of $262.50.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart reads 54 and points upwards, indicating increasing bullish momentum.

Another bullish sign is Coinglass’s XMR long-to-short ratio, which reads 1.21, the highest level in over a month. This ratio above one reflects bullish sentiment in the markets as more traders are betting for the asset price to rise.

However, if XMR declines, breaks below the ascending trendline and closes below the 200-day EMA at $195.72, the bullish thesis would be invalidated. This scenario would lead to an additional decline to test its next daily support level at $181.43.
