Monero (XMR) shows short-term selling pressure after reaching an all-time high near $798 in January 2026. Over the past month, XMR retraced more than 44%, currently trading around $331, below the 50-day and 200-day moving averages.
Futures open interest dropped 11% in a single day, and the long-to-short ratio favors short positions. Immediate support is at $300, with the nearest resistance at $381. A break below $315 could test support between $300 and $231.
Despite the price pressure, on-chain activity remains above pre-2022 levels. Transaction volumes stabilized in 2024 and 2025 at levels higher than in 2020–2021. Nearly half of the new darknet markets launched in 2025 operate exclusively on Monero.
TRM Labs found that 14–15% of Monero nodes exhibit non-standard behavior, including irregular handshake patterns and unusual peer list compositions. These variations do not affect the network’s privacy features. Non-standard node concentration occurs in a small number of hosting environments.
Monero maintains consistent demand for private transactions and critical support at $300 despite multiple delistings and regulatory restrictions.
