Traders have taken notice of Monero’s 99.5% gain since the altcoin dropped to a new 2020 low during the March 12 crypto market meltdown.
Since dropping to $24.05 during the strong marketwide correction that occurred on March 12, Monero (XMR) has rallied 99.5% and currently trades at $49.
The recent recovery occurred on consistently strong purchasing volume and the altcoin has spent the last 10 days trading in an ascending channel.

At the time of writing the XMR/USDT pair has pulled back slightly after touching the main trendline of the ascending channel at $50.96 but the pattern of higher lows has remained intact since March 20 even as pullbacks occur.
In the event of a pullback, there is support at $49.23 and $47 where the ascending channel midpoint and 20-MA are situated. Below the 20-MA XMR should find support at $45.45 and $41.39 which is below the ascending channel but also next to a high volume node on the VPVR.
Currently, XMR facing resistance at $51 and pushing through this level could be a challenge, though the next target will then be $54.
