XMR/USD Price Medium-term Trend: Ranging

The cryptocurrency enters consolidation in its short-term outlook. After a bearish run towards the accumulation territories of $102, rejection to the further downward movement was seen with the formation of a doji and a bullish candle as the bulls made a gradual return.

Price was up towards the distribution territory of $128 earlier last week as the bull sustained the momentum within the range. Price is in between 4-day EMA and the 50-day EMA while 50-day EMA is above the price which indicates that there is a probability for the downward movement this week.

However, the coin may continue ranging within the bound as MACD with its histogram and its signal lines are on the zero level. Patience is the key at this period for a breakout at the upper area or breakdown at the lower area to occur before taking a position.
