The strong buying pressure on XMR was highlighted as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) approached the overbought zone. This indicated solid demand for XMR in the spot market.
Similarly, investors increased their capital inflows, with the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) continuing its upward trend with a value of +0.23, as reported at the time of writing.
Based on the price action, bullish market sentiment and chart indicators, XMR buyers can move further up another 4.5%. This would take the altcoin towards the $170 resistance level.
However, the $170 level has been difficult for bulls to break in the past. This could give sellers a chance to stop the bullish run if the price reaches the near-term level.
