witnesses a 29% increase in daily volume to over $125 million.<\/p>\n<h2>Monero price retreats after testing $285<\/h2>\n<p>Monero\u2019s XMR climbed to $285 in early trading on August 27 as the crypto market experienced a slight bounce.<\/p>\n<p>With the likes of <a href=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/news\/synthetix-price-soars-20-amid-volume-spike-heres-why\/\">Synthetix<\/a> mirroring Ethereum, Solana and XRP flipping positive, XMR moved higher to test bears near the $285 supply wall that has capped upside momentum since mid-August.<\/p>\n<p>This uptick reflects in Monero\u2019s 3% gain as of writing, and sees losses over a difficult 30 days for XMR trimmed to about -17%.<\/p>\n<p>The turbulence after the reported 51% attack on the privacy coin Qubic saw traders panic amid fears of network vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n<p>Kraken\u2019s temporary suspension of XMR deposits also added to the pressure, with the price moving down to lows of $233.<\/p>\n<p>However, despite the setback, Monero\u2019s community and miners have swiftly rallied.<\/p>\n<p>Decentralised mining pool P2Pool, for instance, cut Qubic\u2019s dominance to restore network stability, and aided XMR\u2019s bounce to $285.<\/p>\n<h2>XMR price forecast<\/h2>\n<p>Speculative interest in Monero, signalled by a 28% surge in derivatives volume and positive flip in open interest to over $41 million, is highlighting XMR\u2019s resilience.<\/p>\n<p>From a technical point of view, indicators such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Moving Average Convergence Divergence are favouring bulls.<\/p>\n<figure

the picture is that bearish momentum may persist, but bulls have the resolve and short-term technical support for an upward bounce.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, a potential climb to $300 could see XMR eye $344 and then $400.<\/p>\n<p>However, regulatory crackdowns and broader market weakness could drag Monero prices to under $250, with potential support at $230 and then $200.<\/p>\n<p>Analysts at QCP
