Analysis

Monero faces fresh supply pressure after Decrypt revealed hackers abusing a macOS screen sharing flaw to run undetected mining operations.

Price sits at $118.7 inside the Bollinger band on the 4h chart, with EMA50 at $123.34 serving as the first resistance layer and EMA200 at $138.48 marking the longer-term cap. The MACD death cross at -2.04 keeps momentum negative while neutral RSI at 46.21 allows room for a test of lower band support at $113.9 before any rebound attempt. This malware wave adds another layer to XMR price prediction models already contending with persistent bearish structure over the past year.
