Monero is once again drawing attention as long-term price structures move toward a decisive phase. Analyst Jonathan Carter recently highlighted that XMR is pressing against the neckline of a cup and handle pattern on the two-week chart, a formation that has been building quietly over several years.

This setup places Monero at a critical level, where sustained buying interest could determine the direction of its next major cycle move.

Long-Term Structure Signals a Potential Breakout Phase

The two-week chart of the XMR/USDT currency pair indicates a rounded bottom formation, which began after the fall of Monero from its peak of 2018.

It should be noted that during the long fall, the price continued to range between $40 to $60, a point that continued to indicate intense support from buyers. In the process, the steepness of the fall continued to reduce, indicating that buyers had begun to trigger a recovery.

Monero started to rise and got stuck between $450-$480. It is a price range that prevents changes in a number of past cycles. Thus, it is a known supply area.

However, as Monero could not pass this area, the price showed a cooling-down pattern and formed the handle of the pattern. During this phase, several higher lows and smaller price movements started to be noticed.

More people entered this movement, meaning that more buyers are now aligning themselves with the resistance levels. If prices continue to move above $480 for two consecutive weeks, it will indicate that there is indeed a change in market behavior and that prices could reach as high as $1,500 to $1,800.

Monero Weekly Momentum Supports the Broader Bullish Bias

Looking at the weekly chart for XMR/USD, Monero is trading around $458, having had a strong rally over the last year.

It has transitioned from a sideways market to an uptrend, as it continues to make higher highs and higher lows, and it remains above the rising 20-week simple moving average, indicating that market forces still favor the buyers despite the occasional halts.

The volatility indicators are still calling for further increases. Prices approaching the upper Bollinger Band are a positive indication of strength. The retreats remain limited but remain above the medium line.

In most instances, such a trend indicates that the ongoing trend is still a continuation of a previous uptrend rather than a completion of the same. The MACD remains positive.

Also, the RSI reading of the currency pair is in the 60s. This level makes the trend bullish since it does not overreach. It remains above the 50% mark with its pullbacks.

Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps

Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps

The post Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Federal Reserve has made its first Fed rate cut this year following today’s FOMC meeting, lowering interest rates by 25 basis points (bps). This comes in line with expectations, while the crypto market awaits Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech for guidance on the committee’s stance moving forward. FOMC Makes First Fed Rate Cut This Year With 25 Bps Cut In a press release, the committee announced that it has decided to lower the target range for the federal funds rate by 25 bps from between 4.25% and 4.5% to 4% and 4.25%. This comes in line with expectations as market participants were pricing in a 25 bps cut, as against a 50 bps cut. This marks the first Fed rate cut this year, with the last cut before this coming last year in December. Notably, the Fed also made the first cut last year in September, although it was a 50 bps cut back then. All Fed officials voted in favor of a 25 bps cut except Stephen Miran, who dissented in favor of a 50 bps cut. This rate cut decision comes amid concerns that the labor market may be softening, with recent U.S. jobs data pointing to a weak labor market. The committee noted in the release that job gains have slowed, and that the unemployment rate has edged up but remains low. They added that inflation has moved up and remains somewhat elevated. Fed Chair Jerome Powell had also already signaled at the Jackson Hole Conference that they were likely to lower interest rates with the downside risk in the labor market rising. The committee reiterated this in the release that downside risks to employment have risen. Before the Fed rate cut decision, experts weighed in on whether the FOMC should make a 25 bps cut or…
