Source Fxstreet
  • Monero price extends its gains on Monday after rallying 9.33% the previous week.
  • On-chain metrics paint a bullish picture, with open interest reaching its highest level since December 20.
  • The technical outlook suggests a continuation of the rally with a target of $345.

Monero (XMR) price is extending its gains by 19% at the time of writing on Monday, following a 9.33% rally the previous week. On-chain metrics support this price surge, with XMR’s open interest reaching its highest level since December 20. The technical outlook suggests a bullish breakout and continuation of the rally, with a target of $345.

Monero could surge as it breaks above the ascending triangle formation

Monero price breaks above the ascending triangle formation on the daily chart, rallying over 19% at the time of writing on Monday. This pattern was created by drawing two trendlines from mid-November, connecting swing points on the daily chart between multiple higher lows and multiple equal highs.

This technical pattern breakout favors the bulls, and the target is generally obtained by measuring the distance between the first daily high and the first daily low to the breakout point. 

If the breakout level is retested and support is found around the daily level of $241.95, XMR could rally toward its technical target of $345.23. However, traders are suggested to book profits around the $300 level.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) momentum indicator on the daily chart reads at 83, above its overbought level of 70, suggesting the ongoing rally could face cooling pressures. However, the bullish momentum remains strong.

Monero’s open interest reaches its highest year-to-date 

Monero’s Open Interest (OI) further supports the bullish outlook. Coinglass’ data shows that the futures’ OI in XMR at exchanges rose from $20.13 million on Friday to $30.38 million on Monday, reaching a new year-to-date (YTD) high. An increasing OI represents new or additional money entering the market and new buying, which suggests a rally ahead in the Monero price.
