 | Monero Price Continues Its Bullish Streak, Will This Be Its Next Trading...
Monero price has been bullish despite the broader market trends. Over the last 24 hours, XMR has continued moving up on its chart. It gained close to 4%.
In the past week, Monero price gained significantly as there was a 9% appreciation on the altcoin's chart. The technical outlook for the coin was bullish on the one-day chart.
Monero has experienced low buying pressure over the past few days. The technical indicator now displayed that buying strength was recovering on the charts, which meant that XMR could be headed close to its next resistance mark.
With increased demand, XMR could hold onto its bullish momentum. The support zone for Monero price was between $146 and $136, respectively.
Bitcoin was also up on the charts, which has helped other altcoins make recoveries on their respective charts.
Monero has to move above the $146 price mark. That could only be possible if the demand for XMR continues to increase and remain consistent.
Monero Price Analysis: One Day Chart
Monero was priced at $146 on the one-day chart | Source: XMRUSD on TradingView
XMR was trading at $146 at the time of writing. The coin's immediate resistance level was $154. The coin needs to move past that level for the bullish streak to strengthen on the chart.
The other tough price ceiling for Monero price to break past would be $163. The bulls have been rejected at that level for multiple weeks now.
On the flip side, if Monero prices go through a pullback, the first level for Monero would be $134. A fal...
|  | Biggest Movers: SOL Moves Towards $35.00, XMR Extends Recent Gains
Solana rose for a second straight day on Thursday, as the token moved closer to its long-term resistance point of $35.00. Monero was also in the green during today's session, extending recent gains in the process. Overall, markets attempted to rebound, following a red wave which swept through markets to start the week.Solana (SOL)
Solana (SOL) was mostly higher during Thursday's session, as the token moved towards a key resistance level.
Following a low of $32.79 on Wednesday, SOL/USD rose to an intraday high of $33.92 earlier in the day.
The move saw solana move closer to its ceiling of $35.00, which has mostly held firm for the past fortnight.
As can be seen from the chart, today's climb led to the 10-day (red) moving average nearing a crossover with its 25-day (blue) counterpart.
Despite the prospect of this occurring, prices may remain lower up until the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) breakout out of an upcoming ceiling of its own.
The index, which is currently tracking at 49.22 is nearing a resistance mark of 51.00, which will likely be a major hurdle in preventing SOL from further gains.
Monero (XMR)
Another notable mover in today's session was monero (XMR), which also moved higher for a second consecutive day.
Despite current market volatility, XMR/USD was able to rise on Thursday, hitting a peak of $148.98 in the process.
As a result of today's surge, the token remains close to Monday's top of $152.84, which was a two-week high.
This point was also close to a...
|  | Biggest Movers: DOGE Races to 3-Month High, XMR Hits Strongest Price Sin...
Dogecoin moved to a three-month high on Tuesday, as prices of the token were up by over 15%. Today's move comes despite crypto markets mainly falling, with the global market cap 0.21% lower as of writing. Monero was also up, hitting a multi-month high in the process. Dogecoin (DOGE)
Less than 24 hours after shiba inu neared a fresh three-month high, its fellow meme coin dogecoin (DOGE), also hit a twelve-week peak.
The token surged to an intraday peak of $0.08848 in today's session, which comes after yesterday's low of $0.07571.
This is the highest level DOGE/USD has hit since May 18, and comes following a breakout of a key resistance point.
Looking at the chart, this ceiling is the $0.0753 point, which was last broken on July 20, after a false breakout.
As a result of this, the relative strength index (RSI) is now tracking at 72.20, which is its strongest reading since April.
Ultimately, bulls seem to be attempting to recapture the $0.1000 level, which was last hit on May 11.
In order to move closer to this, price strength will need to break out of its current ceiling of 73.
Monero (XMR)
In addition to DOGE, monero (XMR) was another big mover in today's session, with it climbing to its highest point in over two months.
XMR/USD rallied to a high of $174.11 earlier in today's session, as bulls moved past a resistance level of $168.20.
Today's peak sees XMR hit its highest level since June 11, and comes as the RSI bounced from its recent support point.
Looking at the chart, ...
|  | Monero (XMR) Climbs Over 7% Before Weekend Hard Fork
Monero (XMR) price has surged by as much as 7% in a matter of 24 hours before network upgrade or hard fork on August 13.
XMR climbs by over 7% overnight before the weekend hard fork. Binance recently announced support for Monero’s hard fork or network upgrade. Crypto targets $200; then $217 next.
Historically, upgrades have always triggered a boost in XMR price.
The altcoin is seen to have soared by 65% since midway of June which signals a robust price movement. With consistent and continuous recovery of the crypto market, XMR price might even shoot above $200.
According to CoinMarketCap, XMR has soared by 1.28% or trading at $167.70 as of this writing.
The Monero Hard Fork
With this upgrade rescheduled a lot of times, everyone is excited that it’s finally here. Monero is set to perform a hard fork to boost network performance, speed, wallet syncing capability, privacy, security, and decrease volatility in prices.
Monero announced in a tweet that the network upgrade via a hard fork will transpire at block 2,688,888 on August 13. More so, the privacy protocol has also officially rolled out Ledger Monero App v1.8.0 as well as the CLI & GUI v0.18.1.0 “Fluorine Fermi.”
It is highly important for exchanges, merchants, services, and users to run the v0.18 prior to the launch of the network upgrade and also to ensure uninterrupted use of XMR blockchain.
The ring size of the crypto has also enlarged from 11 to 16 which aim to boost the privacy of tran...
|  | Monero Executes Hard Fork To Improve Security and Privacy Features
Monero, one of the most important privacy protocols in the ecosystem, executed a protocol update on August 13 to improve several privacy and security features offered by the network.
The hard fork was successfully performed on block 2,688,888, thanks to a collective effort of more than 70 developers, after almost 4 months since it was announced.
Monero Comes Stronger With Extensive Protocol Enhancements
The hard fork brought several fixes to the internal multi-signature mechanism to facilitate the exchange of information such as key sets and data synchronization between wallets, as explained on their website.
'Multisig means that a transaction needs multiple signatures before it can be submitted to the Monero network and executed. Instead of one Monero wallet creating, signing, and submitting transactions all on its own, you will have a whole group of wallets and collaboration between them to transact.'
In addition, the number of cosigners required to approve ring signatures was increased from 11 to 16. Ring signatures ensure that it is impossible to trace the origin of transactions on the network. One feature that has made Monero the most popular cryptocurrency among privacy enthusiasts.
In terms of security, the bulletproof algorithm was upgraded to bulletproof+, a zero-knowledge proof algorithm implemented in 2018 to reinforce the network's privacy, hiding the exact amounts of transactions and only showing the origin and destination of the transactions.

|  | Monero Faces Pressure In Keeping Upward Pace – Will XMR Overcome R...
Monero has its hands full trying to keep its momentum and rally forward. But, it must first overcome obstacles. As do other tokens.
The token is trying to keep up with the upward tilt. Remarkably, XMR price is trying hard to recover and keep up with the pace but it seems XMR is doing a great job as it’s currently on the green and winging it.
The daily price chart shows that XMR price is trying to soar upwards. Monero is gaining strides as it shoots up close to the top trendline of the channel. In order for XMR to rebound or go through the target resistance, the coin must maintain its current pace in terms of price.
Monero (XMR) Price Surges 4.33%
For XMR to shoot hoops at a bullish pace and breach the ascending parallel channel, the XMR bulls must push through its upward movement. However, it seems the bears are attempting to weaken the XMR market.
With a frail market, it is challenging for XMR and other cryptocurrencies to recover. XMR investors must hold it off until such time that the bulls can maneuver and maintain the current position found at the top trendline of the ascending parallel channel.
According to CoinMarketCap, Monero price is currently trading at $167.68 or showing off an increase of 4.33%. Trading volume was seen to drop by 6.88% as depicted in the intraday trading session. As of press time, bears try to drag the token towards the lower trendline of the ascending channel.

|  | Biggest Movers: HNT Nears 1-Week High, as XMR Rebounds on Friday
HNT was moving towards a one-week high on Friday, as it rebounded following losses in yesterday's session. Prices have now risen for two of the last three days, and this comes as XMR climbed for the first time in nearly two weeks.
Helium (HNT)
HNT was trading higher today, as bulls re-entered the market following a red wave that hit prices during Thursday's session.
Following a low of $9.97 during yesterday's session, HNT/USD raced to an intraday peak of $11.42 earlier in the day.
The move sees HNT move back above its resistance level of $10, and it now looks to be heading for a seven-day peak at $11.90.
As of writing, helium is currently trading around $11.16, as earlier bulls have vacated their position, instead choosing to secure gains.
Despite this, the current short-term momentum remains bullish, leading the 14-day RSI away from oversold levels.
Currently the Relative Strength Index is trading at 55.31, which is marginally below a ceiling of 58.10, which seems to be the next target for bulls.
Monero (XMR)
June has been far from kind to XMR traders, with the token in the red for the majority of the month so far.
XMR/USD rose to an intraday high of $116.16 earlier on Friday, which comes less than 24-hours after prices were trading at $104.82.
This move follows a streak that saw monero move to lower lows for a period of two weeks.
As a result of these declines, XMR fell to its lowest point since September 2020 earlier in the week, however following today's surge, we are ...
|  | South Africa Charges Former Monero Lead Developer With 378 Counts of Fra...
Former Monero lead maintainer, Riccardo Spagni, faces over 370 counts of fraud, forgery, and uttering. The charges against the developer stem from fraudulent activities he allegedly committed when he was still employed by Cape Cookies. Fluffypony Pleads Not Guilty
The so-called crypto mogul and former Monero lead developer, Riccardo Spagni, has been charged with 378 counts of fraud by the South African government, a report has said. The charges follow allegations that Spagni defrauded his former employer of more than $93,500 (R1,453,561). The crimes are alleged to have taken place between October 2009 and June 2011.
As previously reported by Bitcoin.com News, Spagni was arrested in Tennessee by U.S. law enforcement. The lead maintainer's arrest stems from a warrant that was issued by a South African court when Spagni, who is also known as 'Fluffypony,' failed to make a routine court appearance.
Spagni, who has since pleaded not guilty to the charges, is accused of cheating his former South African employer, Cape Cookies, by inflating the amount of money that was due to the supplier. According to one report, the former Monero lead maintainer would then ensure that the funds would be transferred to a bank account that he controlled. Once the payment was made, Spagni would then transfer the actual amount that was due to the supplier and retain the balance.
Spagni Waives Right to Extradition Hearing
As per court documents filed in May 2022, the former developer is now facing 126...
|  | Biggest Movers: XMR Hits 2-Week High, LRC Climbs for Fifth Straight Day
Following a bearish start to the day, XMR climbed to a two-week high during today's trading session. Gains in monero come as LRC also saw its price move higher, rising for a fifth consecutive day, as it approaches a multi-week high of its own.
Monero (XMR)
Monero extended a recent bullish streak during today's session, with prices rising to a two-week high as a result of strong gains.
XMR/USD hit an intraday peak of $204.69 earlier in the day, which is over $10 higher than yesterday's low.
Today's rally comes as prices have now risen for six out of seven sessions, with today's the highest XMR has hit since May 9.
On May 12, prices declined to a bottom of $112.98, which was a fifteen-month low, however since then, we have seen significant rebounds.
This resurgence in price is encapsulated by the ascending triangle currently shown on the chart, however prices now look to have landed at a resistance level.
Resistance at $205 has so far held firm, with the RSI tracking at its own ceiling of 55.
Should we see a breakout from this ceiling of 55, then bulls will likely target take profits at $230.
Loopring (LRC)
LRC made a run for its long-term resistance level on Wednesday, as prices rose for a fifth day on the bounce.
Today's run saw LRC/USD rise to an intraday high of $0.60, which is over 10% higher than yesterday's low of $0.5207.
As a result of Wednesday's surge, LRC is now marginally below its long-term resistance level at $0.6210.
To start the week, loopring broke past th...
|  | Biggest Movers: XMR and SOL Higher on Monday
Despite BTC and ETH trading lower on Monday, several cryptocurrencies managed to move higher to start the week. XMR was one of the biggest climbers, with solana also moving higher during the session.
Monero (XMR)
XMR was one of Monday's biggest gainers, as prices rose by almost $20 from lows during Sunday's session.
Following a low of $128.00 on Sunday, XMR/USD rallied to an intraday high of $174.62 to start the trading week.
Monday's top came as prices surged for four consecutive sessions, hitting a near one-week high in the process.
Since these highs earlier in the day, XMR is now trading marginally below a ceiling of $173.00, as bullish strength faded as the day progressed.
The 14-day RSI is now trading at a resistance level of its own, which is below 43.14, and should it break, we could see XMR break resistance for the first time since March.
Should this happen, prices could move closer to the $200 region. A point which monero last hit only eight days ago.
Solana (SOL)
Following three consecutive sessions of gains, SOL was also higher to start the week, however prices declined as the day progressed.
On Sunday, SOL/USD finished the day trading at $53, and went on to hit a peak of $58.88 during the early part of Monday's session.
Since then, prices have slipped, and as of writing SOL is currently trading at a level of $52.32, which is close to a one-week low.
Overall, SOL has dropped by over $100 since the beginning of April, with prices dropping below $35 last Thursda...
|  | Biggest Movers: LUNA Loses 50% of Its Value, While XMR and AXS Declines ...
LUNA was down by over 50% in today's session as markets continued to react to UST losing its parity with USD. As such traders lost faith in the stablecoin founded by Do Kwon, which dropped to its lowest point since September. Whilst LUNA stole the headlines, XMR and AXS also saw recent losses extended.
Terra (LUNA)
LUNA fell by over 50% during today's trading session, as markets reacted to stablecoin UST losing its parity with the U.S. Dollar.
After trading at a peak of $57.44 to start the week, LUNA/USD dropped to a low of $24.14 earlier in the day.
This drop in price is the biggest one-day move since LUNA's inception, and pushed the price to its lowest point since last September.
The move came following five consecutive sessions of declines, with the most recent pushing price below support at $50.00.
Looking at the chart, the 14-day RSI is reading off the charts and is currently tracking at 20.46, which is the weakest level it recorded in the history of LUNA.
Do Kwon has since tweeted, 'Close to announcing a recovery plan for $UST. Hang tight', we will now wait to see how markets digest any potential plans and or safeguards.
Axie Infinity (AXS)
There were several crypto tokens all trading more than 10% lower today, however one which stuck out more than others was AXS.
The token, which acts as the currency for the blockchain-based trading game Axie Infinity, fell by over 15% on Tuesday.
As a result of recent bearish pressure, AXS/USD hit an intraday low of $23.92, followi...
|  | Biggest Movers: NEAR Hits 1-Month Low, XMR Down 12%
NEAR saw recent losses extend on Wednesday, as it fell to a one-month low during today's session. The decline in NEAR came as XMR also traded in the red, falling to a multi-week low in the process.
NEAR Protocol (NEAR)
NEAR was one of the biggest tokens to fall on hump-day, as prices fell to a one-month low earlier in today's session.
Following a peak of $15.18 on Tuesday, NEAR/USD slipped to an intraday bottom of $12.50 on Wednesday.
The drop saw NEAR fall to its lowest level since March 27, and keeps prices close to recent support of $12.45.
Since hitting this floor, there has been somewhat of a rebound, with the price now trading at $12.84, which is still nearly 7% lower than yesterday's high.
This comes as bulls have historically used this floor as an entry point, with a few rallies occurring at this level in the past.
Aside from this, the 14-day RSI is now hovering around a two-month low, which could be another reason for some to remain optimistic about potential rebound.
Monero (XMR)
XMR was down by over 12% in today's session, however as the day matured, losses somewhat eased from earlier lows.
As of writing, XMR/USD is trading at $225.58, which follows on from today's intraday bottom of $224.32.
Overall, monero has been trading lower for the past six sessions, with today's low coming less than 24 hours after a top of $243.88.
This latest decline pushed prices below the long-term support level of $229.00, taking XMR to a two-week low in the process.
While prices a...

Popular privacy coin Monero (XMR) has been on a rally since the start of 2022. At the time of writing, XMR trades at $285 with a 6% profit in 24 hours, a 34% and 50% profit in the last two weeks and 30-days, respectively.

As announced by one of Monero’s maintainers via a post, the network will undergo an upgrade on July 16th, 2022, at the height of block 2.6 million. The “Fluorine Fermi” update will introduce new features to the network.
As the developer stated, Monero will increase its ring size from 11 to 16. The ring size is a term to refer to the total number of signers in an XMR transaction. As part of this network's unique model, the update will provide users with more base privacy.
In addition, the network will implement an upgraded version of its Bulletproofs algorithm to decrease its transaction size by around 7%. This change is supposed to improve the network’s scalability by making “every transaction lighter and faster”.
On the latter, the network will reduce the wallet’s sync time by around 30 to 40%, the post said, and will implement a change to Monero’s fee model. Thus, users can expect to see an uptick in the network’s “security and resilience”.
As the update will be deployed via a Hard Fork, users and node operators will need to update their software. The maintainer made the following request to the users:

|  | Biggest Movers: XMR Climbs to 6-Month High, TRX up 17% Following News of...
TRX was up by over 17% on Thursday, as founder H.E. Justin Sun announced that a new stablecoin, USDD, was going to be launched on the TRON blockchain. XMR was another big mover today, climbing to its highest point since November.
TRON (TRX)
TRX surged today, as founder H.E. Justin Sun of TRON confirmed that a new stablecoin will be launched on the blockchain.
In a tweet, Sun stated that, 'TRON DAO joined hands with major blockchain players to launch USDD (Decentralized USD), the most decentralized stablecoin in human history.'
Do Kwon of Terra also welcomed the announcement, with TRX/USD rising to an intraday high of $0.07405 on the news.
As of writing, TRX is up 16.54% in today's session, climbing to its highest point since April 2 as a result.
Today's high sees prices near the long-term ceiling of $0.07500, which hasn't been broken since March 31, where the move matured to being a false break.
Overall, the ceiling has held firm for most of the year thus far, however with the momentum of the moving averages now ascending, we could soon see an eventual move past this point.
One potential obstacle will be that of the 14-day RSI, which is now tracking at an eighteen-day high of 66.82, which is marginally below resistance of 68.
Monero (XMR)
XMR was up by as much as 8% in today's session, as prices rallied to a multi-month high, following a second day of gains.
After trading at a low of $253.56 on Wednesday, XMR/USD surged to a peak of $277.14 earlier on today.

|  | Privacy-Centric Monero Plans for July Hard Fork, Plans Include Ring Sign...
According to a recent update on Monero's Github repository, the privacy-centric crypto network plans to hard fork in July, at block height 2,668,888. Monero is the largest privacy crypto asset in terms of market capitalization and during the last seven days, monero climbed 13.4% against the U.S. dollar.Monero Aims to Upgrade in July
The development team behind the Monero (XMR) project has plans to upgrade the blockchain at some point in July, according to the Github-hosted version 15 'Network Upgrade Checklist #690.' Monero is an open-source distributed ledger with built-in privacy, as it obfuscates transactions by leveraging various techniques.
The Monero network uses privacy techniques such as ring signatures, a cryptographic method, and zero-knowledge (ZK) proof called 'Bulletproofs,' stealth addresses, and it also utilizes an IP-obscuring scheme via the Dandelion++ protocol.
Monero (XMR) is the largest privacy-centric crypto asset by market capitalization, which is $4.62 billion at the time of writing. The hard fork in July is the 15th software version as the blockchain has experienced a great number of upgrades since the network's inception in 2014.
One of the main goals behind many of XMR's hard forks is to protect the network from application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) miners. Four years ago, a hard fork caused the privacy-centric network to split into four different protocols. Moreover, in mid-February XMR supporters were begging monero miners to boycott a min...
|  | Weekend Watch: Bitcoin Maintains $42K, Monero at 3-Month High After 8% S...
After falling to its January 2021 all-time high of around $42,000, bitcoin has maintained that level following a relatively still trading day. The altcoins are also untypically calm today, with Monero being among the few exceptions and XMR tapping a three-month high.
Bitcoin Remains Above $42K
It's safe to say that the primary cryptocurrency has seen better days as it attempted to jump above $47,000 earlier this week. However, it failed on both occasions when the bears returned to the scene and pushed the asset south.
As reported over the week, BTC first dropped to $45,000 before another nosedive took it down to $43,000. After bouncing off and adding a grand, bitcoin started plummeting again yesterday and fell to a 17-day low of just over $42,000.
Since then, the cryptocurrency has regained some traction and neared $43,000 hours ago. It has failed to breach that line yet and now stands a few hundred dollars lower.
Nevertheless, its market capitalization remains above the coveted $800 billion level.

XMR Leads the Way
The altcoins suffered just as badly as bitcoin yesterday, but most have calmed today with minor gains. Ethereum dropped by $300 in days to $3,200 but has remained above that line following a slight increase.
Binance Coin, Ripple, Solana, Terra, Cardano, and Polkadot are also slightly in the green. Dogecoin and Shiba Inu - the two largest memecoins by market cap - have jumped by more than 3% in a day to $0.15 and $0.000025, respectively....
|  | Biggest Movers: XMR Climbs to 4-Month High, NEAR Drops 10% Following Rec...
Following a gain of over 25% on Friday, NEAR dropped by over 10% to start the weekend, while XMR rose to a four-month high. The move in NEAR comes as traders look to be taking profits from recent highs, and as market uncertainty remains high.
Near Protocol (NEAR)
After being Friday's biggest gainer, climbing by over 25%, NEAR was trading lower to start the weekend.
NEAR/USD fell to an intraday low of $16.39 during today's session, as bullish sentiment in the world's nineteenth-largest cryptocurrency began to fade.
This drop follows on from a top of $19.45 less than 24 hours ago, which came after speculation grew that Near Protocol would create a stablecoin that would rival the likes of Terra's UST.
Looking at the chart, yesterday's peak was close to resistance of $20, and traders likely dumped NEAR as price uncertainty emerged at that level .
Today's selloff has now sent prices below short-term support at $17.50, with some bears likely targeting the lower support of $15 in the next few sessions.
Price strength is still relatively overbought, and is currently tracking at 62.30, which could be yet another signal to bears looking to enter the market.
Monero (XMR)
Despite crypto markets falling by over 2% during today's session, XMR was one of the few to trade in the green.
Following a low of $215.28 during Friday's session, XMR/USD rose to an intraday high of $237.81 on Saturday.
This rebound in price came after prices failed to break out of the $212 support, with bulls see...
|  | Privacy Crypto Assets XMR, ZEC See Double-Digit Gains Amid Tightened Glo...
Over the last week, the United States and president Joe Biden's administration tightened sanctions against Russia a great deal. The U.S. banned Russian energy imports, a number of other types of imported goods, and a series of harsh financial sanctions against Russia. In the midst of a restricted global economy, the top two privacy-centric crypto assets monero and zcash saw a significant increase in value last week. Top 2 Privacy Coins Surge While Sanctions Against Russia Continue
As economic sanctions continue to restrict the world's trade further, privacy coins may be reaping the benefit from a tighter financial world. On March 8, the top two privacy-centric cryptocurrencies monero (XMR) and zcash (ZEC) jumped 20% in value. The crypto community quickly took notice of the action and discussed the subject on social media platforms. That day, XMR jumped over 20%, ZEC lifted in value by 26% and other privacy-focused crypto assets like SCRT and ZEN jumped higher.
I really think Privacy coins are due a pump in 2022. All this Russia stuff will also push it further on. A coin that can store value privately will be very valuable in uncertain times.
- Kamal (@eth_kamal) March 12, 2022
Five days later and during the last 24 hours, the market capitalization of all the privacy coins in existence is up 1.4% to $10 billion. Seven-day statistics five days after XMR's and ZEC's initial pump last week shows both coins still hold double-digit weekly gains. Monero is still up 11.1% and ZEC h...
|  | Monero And Zcash Take Off With 15% Gains, Here's What May Have Spu...
Privacy coins, Zcash (ZEC) and Monero (XMR), have been outperforming larger cryptocurrencies in the last 24 hours. The sudden surge on the price of these cryptocurrencies seems to be responding to recent developments around the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and the signed of an executive order from the U.S. These cryptocurrencies have been following the general sentiment in the crypto market flipping towards a more positive stands as Bitcoin breaks above $41,000.

Zcash And Monero React To A FED Coin
As mentioned, the U.S. President Joe Biden has signed an executive order which has surprise for its positive approach to cryptocurrencies and digital assets. As the war between Russia and Ukraine ranges on, the International Community has quickly imposed financial sanctions of Putin, the Russian elite, and its banking system.
As Coin Center’s Executive Director Jerry Brito said, mainstream media have been pushing a negative narrative around cryptocurrencies. Classifying them as “dangerous”, and with the potential to allow Russia to evade sanctions. Fortunately, some U.S. government officials have also look at the other side of the coin.
The core message in this executive order, as Brito said, is a serious acknowledgment from the U.S. Federal Government of cryptocurrencies as legitimate assets. The crypto market seems to have gotten used to negative or nothing messages from the U.S., thus,...

Reports indicate that the Monero community is upset about a specific mining pool that currently commands 44% of the network's hashrate. Supporters are asking mining participants to leave a mining pool called Minexmr as they believe the operation threatens decentralization.A Single Monero Mining Pool Commands 44% of the Network's Hashrate, Monero Community Members Debate Issue, Pool Admin Addresses Concerns
At the time of writing, according to statistics stemming from the web page pools.xmr.wiki, the mining operation Minexmr commands 44.084% of the network hashrate. The hashrate stemming from Minexmr has the Monero community debating on social media and forums and arguing over whether or not it will threaten decentralization.
One person on Twitter explains: 'If you are mining monero, and you support this pool, you are also responsible for the centralization of the monero hashrate.'
URGENT: is extremely close to holding the majority of the hashrate; at the time of writing, it's just under 48%. If you're mining, make sure that you aren't using this pool. https://t.co/U0Hz7z2VUv #Monero #XMR

On Reddit, the complaints are the same, as one post on the Monero-centric subreddit r/monero asks community members to 'boycott Minexmr' and stressed the pool is 'too close to 51%.'
Essentially, the Redditor is talking about a 51% attack, which is when a miner controls a majority of the hashpower, and maliciously attacks the network. 51% atta...
|  | Monero (XMR) Readies For A Breakout As It Touches Important Milestone
Privacy coin Monero (XMR) usually spends its time in the shadows, which is exactly the way its community likes it. Till date, it is still impossible to penetrate the privacy that the digital asset offers, making it the go-to choice for investors who are trying to keep their crypto transactions and holdings a secret. Recently though, the cryptocurrency is breaking out onto the radars of more investors as it shatters an important milestone.
As more crypto users are discovering their transactions are not as hidden as they might have thought, they are moving towards coins like Monero that offers the privacy they desire. This has seen the number of users rise on the blockchain and total transactions carried out has soared, more than doubling in just the first quarter of 2022.
Monero (XMR) Surpasses 20 Million Transactions
Monero is no doubt the leading privacy coin in the crypto space and it has once again proven this with its recent milestone. The coin seems to have exploded in popularity in just the first two months of 2022 as the number of transactions carried out has doubled from 2021. Last year, the number of transactions recorded was sitting at 8.65 million. Data from Blockchair shows that there have been a total of 2,554,175 blocks mined over the lifetime of the privacy digital asset, landing on more than 20,023,000 transactions carried out in the same time period.
This number is important for a digital asset like Monero whose sole utility is being untraceable. It spells mo...
|  | Technical Analysis: Arweave up Over 44% in the Last Week, Monero Starts ...
Arweave, which rose by over 44% in the last week, was once again in the green, trading over 10% higher on Monday. This comes as monero slipped in today's session.
Biggest gainers
Following a bearish January, crypto markets began to rebound within the last week, with arweave being one of the biggest gainers in that period.
To start the week, AR/USD is currently trading 10.32% higher, hitting an intraday peak of $39.81 in the process.
This comes as the decentralized storage network rose by 44% in the last 7-days, as it continues to move towards the $40 mark.
Looking at the chart below, the move began after arweave rallied from its recent support of $29.40, where it traded on Friday, leading to four consecutive sessions of gains.
As a result of this run, the 14-day RSI now tracks at 50.25, which means prices are neither oversold or overbought.
This sets up perfectly for a breakout beyond $40, however, with resistance at this level fairly strong, there are likely to be bears waiting to push prices back down towards support.
Should price strength continue to surge, arweave bulls may target the higher resistance of $52.
Biggest losers
As of writing, cryptocurrencies were trading 1.37% higher on the day, however, there are a few notable bears to start the week.
Monero was one of them, with XMR/USD falling by as much as 4% during Monday's session, leading to an intraday low of $141.22.
Looking at the chart below, today's decline has resulted in monero hitting its recent support ...

Monero jumped 13% during the last seven days, while the token secret increased 50%, and dusk spiked by 47% this past week.
Monero, Secret, Dusk Network Values Spike
This week a few privacy-centric crypto assets have seen double-digit percentage gains over the last seven days. According to metrics stemming from coingecko.com's list of privacy coin market capitalizations, there's $12.2 billion worth of these types of assets.
Monero (XMR) has the largest market valuation on January 17, 2022, with $3.9 billion. The past 24-hour range of trading shows that XMR has been exchanging hands for $212.45 to $229.66 per unit.

|  | Bitcoin, Ethereum, Monero Hashrates Tap Lifetime Highs — Dash, ETC...
During the first month of 2022, both Bitcoin and Ethereum's hashrates have climbed to all-time highs (ATHs). While Bitcoin's hashpower surged to over 200 exahash per second (EH/s), Ethereum's hashpower jumped to over 1 petahash per second (PH/s). A few mineable digital asset networks, however, saw their hashrates decline since their ATHs and the processing power behind these protocols hasn't returned back to the highs captured long ago.
While Some Hashrates Skyrocket, Processing Power From Other Crypto Networks Remains Lackluster
At the time of writing, Bitcoin's processing power is coasting along above the 200 exahash per second (EH/s) zone, after touching the ATH it captured on January 15. Six-month hashrate statistics indicate that on Sunday, January 16, 2022, BTC's hashrate tapped a daily high of 216.50 EH/s.
The top three mining pools on Monday, January 17, include F2pool, Foundry USA, and Antpool, respectively. All three pools have more than 15% of the global hashrate or 29 EH/s of hashpower.
Six-month and all-time metrics also show that Monero's network hashrate is coasting along at all-time high records as well, with about 3.49 gigahash per second (GH/s) at press time.
In close to four days' time, Bitcoin's network difficulty is expected to increase 6.24% which will bring the network difficulty to an all-time high. The estimated difficulty after the next epoch change will be around 25.89 trillion, according to data at the time of writing.

The privacy-centric crypto asset monero has seen significant gains during the last two weeks, jumping 36% in value against the U.S. dollar. Despite the negative press from the 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' torrents with monero mining malware, seven-day statistics indicate the crypto asset has gained more than 21%.
Monero Sees Double-Digit Gains Amid Mining Malware Headlines
The privacy-focused digital currency monero (XMR) has seen double-digit gains this week, while most of the crypto economy has suffered losses and seen a period of consolidation. Just recently, XMR made headlines after a cybersecurity firm warned that torrent files containing the 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' film may contain malicious monero mining malware.
Mining malware reports have plagued the Monero community for years as some applications exist which hijack a victim's CPU, and then mine monero without the victim knowing. The act is sometimes referred to as 'cryptojacking.'
Year-to-date, monero (XMR) has gained 58% against the U.S. dollar and the crypto asset has a market capitalization of around $4.4 billion, ranked 44th among 12,135 crypto assets. XMR represents 0.19% of the $2.3 trillion crypto-economy on January 1, 2022.
XMR has a 24-hour price range of around $227.51 to $248.45 per unit and tether (USDT) is the asset's biggest trading pair with 42% of all trades. This is followed by BTC (18.39%), ETH (7.83%), USD (5.94%), EUR (3.35%), GBP (2.32%), and JPY (2.32%).
