Is Monero (XMR) Gearing Up For A Bullish Move? Golden Cross Signals a Potential Rally
Date: Sat, February 8, 2025 | 05:45 AM GMT
In the cryptocurrency market, major altcoins have been experiencing continuous corrections since the November rally, despite Bitcoin (BTC) maintaining its momentum.
Meanwhile, the privacy-focused token Monero (XMR) has shown remarkable resilience, posting 7% and 19% gains in the last 30 and 60 days, respectively, against a generally bearish market sentiment. Currently, XMR is trading at $211, hinting at potential further upside.

Golden Cross Signals a Potential Rally
On the weekly chart, XMR is consolidating within a multi-year ascending channel pattern. Historically, during the bull runs of 2017-18 and 2020-21, the price touched the upper resistance of this channel to form new all-time highs, while each correction tested the support trendline, marking strong bottoms.
Currently, XMR is trading at $211, and a key golden cross has formed—where the 50-week SMA (Simple Moving Average) has crossed above the 100-week SMA.

This is a strong bullish signal, often indicating the start of a significant upward trend. The last time this pattern appeared was in October 2020, which preceded a massive 600% rally during the 2021 bull market.
If history repeats itself, XMR could be on track for another explosive rally, potentially surging towards the upper resistance of the channel around $580, which would mark a 175% gain from the current price.
Additionally, the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) indicator has begun to turn bullish, signaling increasing upside momentum. This aligns with previous breakout points where XMR entered parabolic uptrends.
Final Thoughts
With a confirmed golden cross, strong support from the ascending channel, and increasing MACD momentum, Monero appears well-positioned for a major breakout. While the broader market remains uncertain, XMR’s technical indicators suggest that a rally toward $580 could be on the horizon if historical patterns hold.
Traders and investors should keep a close eye on XMR’s price action in the coming weeks, as the privacy coin could be gearing up for another impressive bull run.
