Bullish RSI Divergence Hints An Upcoming Rally In XMR Coin

For this short-term downtrend, the XMR coin has been resonating in a falling parallel channel. The pattern has led this red rally since the $300 mark and has brought it to the $180 crucial support. The coin will follow a downwards rally until this pattern is intact and potentially breach this bottom support.

On a contrary note, this type of pattern is quite known for a strong bullish rally when the price gives a proper breakout from the overhead resistance trendline. Therefore, the crypto trader should keep a sharp on this pattern as it provides an early signal and entry opportunities for a long trade.
