Technical Analysis of Monero XMR/USDT
The XMR price began the yearly trade on a significant bearish note that initiated on the very first day of 2022. The price slides from $254 to as low as $140 in a very short time. No doubt the asset witnessed a decent recovery beyond $160, yet finding it extremely difficult to move ahead towards upper levels. As the buyers appear to have been exhausted a little and hence a short-term consolidation followed by a pullback appears imminent.
| Short-Term | The price after hitting the lower lows has ignited a minor rebound and hence a small flip towards immediate resistance may be possible |
| Mid-Term | After drowning more than 10% the asset is attempting to stabilize the bearish trend and hence may consolidate below $170 for some more time |
| Long-Term | A huge bearish signal has just flashed and hence the XMR price may be primed for a notable pullback soon |

Summary
The long-term forecast is extremely bearish for Monero but in the short-term, some possibilities of an uptrend surface. The rising MACD & RSI display the asset’s tenacity to prevent plunging to lower levels in the short term. However, in the long term, the asset displays a complete contrast picture as both displays a bearish trend.
The bulls appear to gain little strength in STF in the next couple of hours, while it’s the bears who will have the whole control in the HTF. On the other hand, ADX, which tells the strength of rally and volatility indicator ATR, both are plunging hard in STF, signifying a consolidation phase. A similar trend is witnessed in the HTF also which is signaling a short-term bounce followed by a massive drain.

- After the steep drop, the asset is swinging within the crucial resistance and support zones
- The XMR price initially formed a double bottom pattern at the support levels and quickly surged high breaking the neckline but failing to smash the upper resistance
- However, the asset failed more than once in hitting the upper resistance, hence forming a double top pattern
- Interestingly, the asset is testing the trend line in the higher time frame, and if it breaks, then may again visit the lower support below $140.
- Here is when it may attempt a bounce which may slowly yet steadily range high towards the upper resistance discarding a couple of pullbacks
- After successfully sustaining above $200 one can expect a strong uptrend which may prevail for a while to ignite a bull run towards the higher highs
