Monero: Do or die for the bulls and bears

XMR price staring at a key resistance line.
Bulls and bears both have fight of survival.

Manoj B Rawal Independent Analyst

Monero, the coin that rallied quite a bit in the month of March on the back of resumption of bullish sentiment for the entire crypto world, is now sitting at a critical point where bulls and bears both have to fight for their survival and only one would prevail in the upcoming trend.

XMR/USD is up more than 2 percent on day at $70.782 and in more than 3 percent range for the day. On the 6-hour chart of the coin, XMR has reached a point where there is a critical resistance in the form of a horizontal resistance that has not allowed bulls to cross past itself since the end of March.

The resistance line is placed at $72.18 currently and rally beyond this range would take it past magical three digit mark towards $120.
