Monero (XMR) price trades in green around $204.92 on Tuesday after finding support around its ascending trendline the previous day. The technical outlook suggests a rally ahead as XMR’s Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator shows a bullish divergence, hinting at double-digit gains.

If XMR continues its upward momentum, it could extend the rally by 12% from its current levels to retest its December 16 high of $232.

Another bullish sign is Coinglass’s XMR long-to-short ratio, which reads 1.20, the highest level in over a month. This ratio above one reflects bullish sentiment in the markets as more traders are betting for the Monero price to rise.

However, if XMR breaks below the ascending trendline and closes below $180.79, it could extend the decline to test its December 20 low of $167.
