Monero (XMR) recently saw its short-term rally peak, as the TD Sequential indicator successfully nailed a local top. 

According to the crypto analyst Ali Charts, this widely used technical tool, designed to identify trend exhaustion, has now flipped to a buy signal, suggesting a potential reversal. Traders view this as a possible entry point amid the cryptocurrency’s volatile movements.

The new buy signal indicates that Monero may be preparing for renewed upward momentum after a period of consolidation. Experts caution that while promising, TD Sequential should be combined with other technical and fundamental analyses. 

As a leading privacy-focused cryptocurrency, XMR continues to draw interest, and this setup could provide traders with a strategic opportunity ahead of a potential rally.

Monero (XMR) Technical Outlook Points to Cautious Outlook

According to TradingView, XMR’s price continued to rise consistently between the end of 2025 and early 2026, reaching a high above $730. 

During this period, XMR’s price continued to trade above the 20-day and 50-day EMAs, which is a bullish indicator in the short term. 

In addition, the expansion in Bollinger Bands showed that the price was volatile. This indicates that XMR’s price continued to rise due to buying pressure before the sharp decline in February 2026.

After the peak, the XMR price fell rapidly, going below the 20, 50, and 100-day EMAs, dipping close to the lower Bollinger Band at $263, indicating extreme bearish pressure. 

The price has now consolidated around $325, well below the 200-day EMA, priced at $381, indicating resistance. The high Bollinger Bands and declining EMAs indicate volatility and the continuation of the bearish trend in the medium term.

Momentum Indicators Suggest Downward Pressure

RSI currently rests at around 36, a position below the neutral mark of 50 yet above the classic oversold mark of 30. Such a position indicates a weak momentum with bearish pressures still lingering. 

The mild uptrend in the RSI, coupled with the signal line, indicates a potential stabilization of selling pressures.

The MACD is still in negative territory but is closing in on zero, which is a sign that the overall bearish trend is losing strength. This is because the bars in the histogram are getting smaller. 

However, it has not crossed over above the signal line; hence, it does not have a bullish signal. This indicates that it is getting into a consolidation phase.
