Monero surges 66% in three months, breaking through $400 resistance with ADX climbing past 35. EU’s 2027 privacy coin ban creates urgency for buyers. Will XMR sustain momentum through $422-$478 resistance, or trigger profit-taking due to regulatory concerns?

Monero surged 29.7% over the past month to $387.23, shrugging off the EU’s announcement of a 2027 privacy coin ban and strict identity check requirements. The privacy-focused cryptocurrency added nearly $90 from its monthly low of $281, with buyers stepping in aggressively after the initial regulatory shock wore off. The primary question facing traders: can XMR sustain this momentum toward the seven-year resistance at $422 while regulatory storm clouds gather?
