ever since bitcoin price rise started all the altcoins are having a hard time keeping the price up because their value against bitcoin is dropping which makes the situation that much worse for them and for keeping it up in fiat terms but so far XMR have been doing a good job at staying strong, i am hopeful for this coin.
Oh, i dont think that we need to be hopeful for this coin

because it will have a good future somewhen (unless another better coin appears) And i agree to the rest.
So far my prediction about the price was fine. I dont think that we'll go below 70 this time...but XMR is so unpredictable always. On tradingview there are also mixed predictions. So atm I would say waiting is not wrong to see the development.
