If you've seen the price action for Monero lately, you'll know that it has been looking ROUGH!
Check this out:

As with most (damn near all), privacy-based cryptocurrencies, it’s been taking a beating over the last few days.
Specifically, in Monero’s case, it has lost 39.60% of its USD value in the last 3-weeks alone.

Things haven’t been as bad on the
BTC pairing, but it’s still pretty bad when considering how much
BTC has depreciated itself against USD during the same time span.
Let’s move back to the USD view though.
From what we saw in the first picture, it’s worth noting that:
1. The price is at the bottom of Bollinger’s Bands (expanded).
2. The RSI is heavily oversold.
3. Almost three weeks of consecutive daily losses (red candles)
So, to say that things are ugly might even be a bit of an understatement.

When you scroll out the 1D chart on XXMR/USD, it becomes apparent that $85 is probably the most likely long-term support that
XMR will have if it continues to depreciate against USD the way it has over the last few weeks.
If it breaks through this point, then the price could head into a serious freefall.
This is something that
XMR (Monero) holders and traders should remain cognizant of as they are investing in this cryptocurrency.
Let’s Look at Monero On the 4H TimeFrame
This will help us detect whether there are any viable scalping opportunities or not on the protocol.
Max Upside From What I’m Seeing = +10%

RSI and Price Action appear to indicate that price is definitely on its way down.

Conclusion
Until
XMR reaches that long-term support that we mentioned on the USD chart, it’s probably safe to write this one off for the time being.
If there are any means for shorting
XMR, I would take complete and full advantage of them (I’m not sure how viable of an option this is ever since Bitfinex got rid of those options).
Thus, it might be best to refrain from placing any long positions in
XMR for the time being.
