Since the start of last week, privacy-coin Monero has increased approximately 50% moving from near 2018 lows at $90 to a high of $140 today. The coin has been undergoing a prolonged downward spiral for most of 2018 in line with the rest of the Altcoin market. As some renewed optimism has recently entered the altcoin market, we have seen the price action in Monero execute consecutive bull flag patterns. Today is no different with price showing a 10% increase over the past 24 hours.
Monero has long been a favorite among cryptocurrency enthusiasts due to its focus on maintaining anonymity through ring signature technology. However, this has not always materialized in price with Monero often lagging behind while other coins undergo speculative frenzies. After the bear market investors have experienced so far during 2018, there could be a new appreciation for projects with a strong technological base such as Monero.
The rise has been on large volume showing real strength behind the move. The price and RSI form higher highs and higher lows, a signal of an uptrend. The MACD also continues to diverge from the centerline as buying momentum increases. The RSI is actually currently in overbought territory, but this is likely to have little impact amid strong buyer momentum.
