Monero [XMR/USD] Technical Analysis: Bulls fail to prove their mettle as bears continue attack

The crash of the cryptocurrency market hasn’t spared top coins like Bitcoin [BTC], Ethereum [ETH] or XRP, and it certainly hasn’t spared Monero.

Monero shows a decrease of 34% in the seven-day interval. The prices of Monero are currently trading at $69.04, while the market cap has come down to $1.14 billion.  The one-hour time frame shows some improvements as the prices have started climbing up. The trading volume of Monero in the 24-hour time frame adds up to $31.66 million, most of which is contributed by Bithumb [~73%] in terms of XMR/KRW trade pair.
