Cryptocurrency price prediction is very hard. But I know that monero coin is one of the most popular altcoin in the market and I trust that Monero definitely going to reach $500 in this year.
If the market continues like today it is certainly easy to reach $ 500, of course Moneroo is very market dependent, namely bitcoin and ethereum, if the end of the year bitcoin prices can reach at least $ 30k, then Monero will reach $ 500.
If Monero reached $ 500, I think the market must continue to increase and increase when Bitcoin returns to $ 20k. But for me this year is almost impossible
