XMR--
Monero (XMR) has crashed 26% from its all-time high of $798 reached on Jan. 14. The token rose for five straight days from Jan. 10 to Jan. 14, partly due to increasing focus on privacy and anticipation around upcoming protocol upgrades. However, a recent social engineering attack that resulted in a $282 million loss in assets might have contributed to the price drop. Technical indicators suggest the rally might not be over, as Monero continues to trade above the daily MA 50 and 200.
