Monero (XMR) Price Continues to Chart Its Own Path This Month as Demand for the Biggest Privacy Coin Rises

Monero (XMR) price continues to chart its own path this month as demand for the biggest privacy coin rises.

Monero (XMR) has rallied for seven consecutive weeks as Bitcoin (BTC) and other altcoins stalled. It jumped to a high of $367.67 this week, its highest level since May 17, up by 265% from its lowest level in 2024.

Monero gained momentum following the Tornado Cash (TORN) court ruling and the eventual lifting of U.S. government sanctions, which drove investors back to privacy coins.

One hope is that centralized exchanges that previously delisted it, like Binance and Coinbase, will relist it this year. Additionally, the Donald Trump administration is composed of pro-crypto officials, including Paul Atkins, the head of the SEC.

Monero’s surge continues this week even as the hash rate crashed to its lowest point since May 13. It dropped from a record high of 5.64 GH/s last week to 4.51 GH/s. Hash rate refers to the computational power used by a network to process and validate transactions. A falling hash rate indicates reduced mining activity in the network.

XMR price technical analysis

The weekly chart shows that the XMR price has been in a strong bullish trend over the past few weeks. This rebound followed a prolonged period in which the coin remained between the support and resistance levels at $134.42 and $186.18 for over two years.

This consolidation was likely part of the accumulation phase of the Wyckoff Theory. It has now moved into the markup phase, which is characterized by higher demand than supply.

Monero has moved above all moving averages. Additionally, the Average Directional Index has risen to 25, a sign that the trend is strengthening. The Relative Strength Index and the Stochastic Oscillator have both reached overbought territory.
