I must be missing something... here is the 200/50MA pair on the daily:

I was thinking the same. On the current trajectory a more conventional 200/50 golden cross in late Feb/ March might be on... And traditionally Feb is not a bad time for XMR. It has also performed well after BTC cyclical peaks (see late 2017 - early 2018) but let's see how it pans out.
Generally the whole market is hard to read. To be honest I really thought BTC was due to to do FAR better than it did in Q4 2021. Like many others I expected fireworks galore and euphoria. Now I don't know what to expect. Bitcoin hasn't crashed yet - as we have seen after previous blow-off tops - so,
maybe the bull is not dead. On the other hand, it doesn't look like there is any upwards pressure on price either.
Monero picking up now is both interesting and refreshing. I hope this move has got legs. That really would be sweet.
