Crypto Market: Monero approaches all-time high, while Story and Render maintain their positions

On Monday, the crypto market shows mixed signals: Monero (XMR) rises by 5% after a strong start to the week and approaches the psychological $600 mark, after the privacy coin already gained 18% on Sunday. Meanwhile, Story (IP) with $2.62 and Render (RENDER) with $2.29 are experiencing significant price movements, illustrating how different the market dynamics can be in this sector.

Monero: Privacy Coin on a Bullish Upswing

Monero’s rally continues unabated. With a monthly gain of nearly 35%, XMR leads the recovery in the crypto sector and benefits from a capital reallocation in favor of privacy coins. The 18% increase yesterday followed by today’s 5% rise indicates persistent buying interest.

Technical Situation: The daily RSI is at 80, signaling overbought conditions but simultaneously supporting strong bullish momentum. The MACD remains in a green upward trend with expanding histogram bars. This suggests sustained buying power.

Outlook: If Monero breaks through the $600 mark, a rally toward the R3 Pivot Point at $640 could follow. The next support zone is at the R2 Pivot Point at $569.

Story and Render: Differentiated Market Opportunities

Story Network is trading at $2.62 and experiencing a volatile phase. The 50-day EMA at $2.31 remains a relevant support. The meme coin has already surpassed the R1 Pivot Point at $2.41, with the RSI at 71 indicating increasing buying pressure. If the $2.50 level is overcome, the rally target of $3.10 (R2 Pivot Point) could come into focus. A fall below the 50-day EMA could, however, mean a psychological testing ground at $2.00.

Render Network is presenting itself at $2.29 as a technically interesting candidate. The 200-day EMA at $2.71 acts as a resistance zone. With over 100% January gains and a 7.64% weekly increase, RENDER shows resilience. The RSI at 75 indicates overbought conditions, but the MACD still confirms bullish momentum. If Render surpasses the 200-day EMA, opportunities could open up toward the $3.00 mark and beyond. Conversely, a rejection could lead down to the January low at $2.06.

Market Conclusion: Technical Stability with Selective Opportunities

The crypto market environment remains characterized by strong interest in privacy coins and alternatives. As long as critical support levels hold and institutional demand through ETF inflows increases, technically positive setups remain valid. However, the differing price movements among individual assets require nuanced risk management.
