    The XMR/USD pair has also breached the upper band of the Bollinger Bands. If bulls maintain the trajectory, the next target is $150. Otherwise, prices might drop to the trendline of the ascending triangle, with healthy support available around the Bollinger Bands’ middle curve at $127.

This is a crucial support zone, meaning that seller congestion near the level might see bulls rely on the support of the lower band of the Bollinger bands ($115). Beyond this, prices might tank to the 100-SMA ($113).
