Furthermore, the relative strength index (RSI) suggests oversold conditions. This means that the downward trend may continue with a third crash forthcoming. Following another crash, it is estimated that Monero may find new support within the $43-44 range.

Heavy Selling

When the crash began on Mar 4, the volume of Monero sold greatly increased. Analyzing 15-minute increments shows heavy selling over this period. Though there are intervals in which the volume bought exceeded the volume sold, the total amount of Monero sold during this period was much greater than the amount bought.

Furthermore, the volume on the bearish candles has been decreasing constantly (dashed line). Price made a temporary bottom at $47.1, but has struggled to break out above the 0.236 fib line at $47.85, which coincides with the 21-period moving average, which is providing very close resistance to the price.
