The 50-day SMA indicator is slightly below the Bollinger Middle Band as the XMR/USD pair found below the present trademark. The XMR/USD market seems not let out of the bulls’ control yet, and that may take some time for the bears to stage a come-back in the market.
Monero has been gaining acceptance and it might hit the $100 mark by the close of May. The platform has made some improvements in terms of privacy and coding. Recently, Exodus Eden incorporated Monero to its latest version with the ability to use your own Monero (daemon/node) feature being worked on.
