Monero (XMR) took a deep plunge on Saturday, falling over 8% to hit $161.28 the mark. The slide comes after the coin had previously risen, giving investors good hope. Market participants are now wondering if the coin will keep falling to hit the $160 mark or if can it surge in future trading sessions.

XMR trading creates worry for investors

Notably, compared to its ATH of $517.62, XMR is currently selling at a discount of 67.13%. The cryptocurrency XMR has taken up 28th place with a $3.107 billion market capitalization at present.

Despite all odds, the coin has placed a strong positive attitude in the cryptocurrency market as the 50-day EMA consistently supports the price chart in the 1-day time frame.

This indicates that the price of Monero in the cryptocurrency market has a bright future if the signs are bullish.

How did Monero gain market importance?

Monero is a cryptocurrency that prioritizes secrecy and anonymity. Monero maintains the ideals of anonymity, in contrast to most cryptocurrencies that emphasize security and openness. It differs from popular transparent blockchains like Ethereum and Bitcoin because of this. With the use of technology like stealth addresses, ring signatures, and ring confidential transactions (RingCT), Monero protects user privacy. Due to these features, all users on the Monero network are by default anonymous and the sender, recipient, and transaction amount are hidden.

Will XRM rise in the future?
