Monero (XRM) Price Faces 7% Drop After Kraken’s Delisting in Europe: What’s Next
Monero (XMR) price has dropped nearly 7% following Kraken’s announcement to delist the coin in the European Economic Area due to regulatory changes. As the largest privacy coin by market cap, XMR faces increased challenges in a sector already struggling with low valuations and negative returns for most of its competitors.
Despite its dominance in market capitalization, technical indicators like the Directional Movement Index (DMI) and Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) suggest a strong downtrend. If the current bearish momentum persists, Monero may soon test critical support levels, deepening the ongoing correction.
XRM Is By Far The Biggest Player In The Privacy Coins Market
Monero (XMR) has experienced a nearly 7% price drop after Kraken announced it will delist the coin for users in the European Economic Area (EEA) due to regulatory changes. Kraken, one of the world’s oldest crypto exchanges, informed its EEA clients that trading and deposits for all Monero markets will cease on October 31, with any open orders automatically closed.
Users have until December 31 to withdraw their Monero holdings, after which any remaining balances will be converted to Bitcoin. The exchange stated it had no choice but to delist Monero from the EEA due to regulatory pressures.

2024 appears to be a challenging year for privacy coins, with only three out of the top ten showing positive returns. Privacy coins continue to be a more complicated area within the crypto space and often have lower valuations than other sectors. Among the top ten privacy coins, only Monero (XMR) boasts a market capitalization of over $1 billion, specifically $2.6 billion.
The combined market cap of the other nine leading privacy coins is $3.1 billion, which is less than that of PEPE at $4.1 billion, clearly highlighting the sector’s difficulties.
Monero DMI Shows The Current Trend Is Strong
According to its Directional Movement Index (DMI), Monero has seen its ADX climb to 51.3, signaling a strong and well-established trend in the market.
The ADX is a key metric used to gauge the strength of a trend — whether upward or downward — and tells if it’s strong or not. The DMI itself is composed of three lines: the ADX, the +DI, which reflects buying or upward pressure, and the -DI, which measures selling or downward pressure.
Currently, Monero’s +DI sits at a relatively low 12, while the -DI has surged to 36.7, indicating that sellers are firmly in control and that bearish momentum is dominating the market. This significant disparity between the two suggests that the current correction could still be in its early stages, as the downtrend appears to be gaining strength.
With such a high ADX, this bearish movement seems to have solid momentum behind it, implying that further downside could be likely as the selling pressure remains strong and could continue to drive prices lower. This combination of a high ADX and dominant -DI shows that the market is in a powerful downtrend, and a reversal does not seem imminent at this point.
XRM Price Prediction: Is The Correction Over?
On September 24, Monero (XMR) experienced a bearish signal when its EMA lines formed a death cross, after which its price dropped by 22%.
EMA lines, or Exponential Moving Averages, are used to track price trends by giving more weight to recent data. A death cross occurs when the short-term EMA crosses below the long-term EMA, often signaling the start of a downtrend.
This bearish indicator, combined with the current strong ADX reading, suggests that the market is experiencing a strong downtrend that may continue.

The gap between the EMA lines isn’t significantly wide yet. That indicates that the correction could still be in its early stages. If the downtrend persists, XMR could soon test key support levels at $133 or even as low as $116. This would mark a further potential drop of 16.5%.
However, if the trend somehow reverses, Monero would need to break through resistance at $143. Should it succeed, the next targets would be $165 and $178, signaling potential recovery.

Cardano (ADA) Price Hits 41% Weekly Growth, $1 Target in Sight
Cardano (ADA) price has surged 41.89% in the last seven days, signaling strong bullish momentum in the market. The uptrend remains strong, supported by key technical indicators like the ADX and Ichimoku Cloud, which point to sustained positive sentiment.
However, signs of consolidation and narrowing gaps in short-term indicators suggest that the rally could face challenges if buying pressure weakens.
ADA Current Uptrend Is Still Strong
Cardano DMI chart shows an ADX of 42.7, indicating a strong trend. The metric has remained above 40 since November 7. This high ADX value confirms the robustness of ADA ongoing uptrend, signaling solid momentum behind the recent price movements.
With the positive directional index (D+) at 21.3 and the negative directional index (D-) at 11, bullish pressure continues to outweigh bearish activity, further supporting the upward trajectory.
The ADX measures the strength of a trend without considering its direction. Values above 25 indicate a strong trend, while those below 20 suggest a weak or nonexistent trend. With an ADX at 42.7, ADA is clearly in a strong uptrend, showing significant market confidence.
The gap between D+ and D- reinforces the bullish dominance, suggesting that ADA price could sustain its upward movement if current conditions persist.
Cardano Ichimoku Cloud Shows An Important Signal
The Ichimoku Cloud chart for Cardano indicates a generally bullish trend, as the price remains above the cloud (Kumo). The Tenkan-sen (blue line) and Kijun-sen (red line) are relatively flat, showing signs of consolidation after ADA’s recent rally.
While the price is still trading above these lines, the narrowing gap between the price and the Tenkan-sen suggests weakening short-term momentum.
The green cloud ahead signals potential support for ADA uptrend, but the current consolidation phase highlights the need for sustained buying pressure to maintain this momentum.
If the price drops below the Kijun-sen or approaches the cloud, it could signal a possible shift toward bearish sentiment.
ADA Price Prediction: Can It Reach $1 In November?
If Cardano (ADA) maintains its strong uptrend, it could test the resistance at $0.85. Breaking this level could pave the way for further gains, with the potential to reach the $1 threshold, marking a 20% rise from current levels and the highest price for Cardano since April 2022.
However, as indicated by the Ichimoku Cloud, a potential reversal could be on the horizon. If bearish momentum takes over, ADA price could face significant downward pressure, potentially dropping to $0.51.
If this support fails, the price could decline further to $0.32, representing a steep 59% correction. This highlights the importance of the current support and resistance levels in determining ADA’s next direction.

Why SUI Network Outage Did Not Cause a Price Crash
Earlier today, the Layer-1 blockchain Sui experienced a two-hour blackout, halting block production and rendering transaction processing impossible. This network outage led to a slight dip in SUI’s price, falling from $3.73 to $3.64.
Despite concerns of a more significant decline, the price stabilized after the project announced that the network was fully restored and operational.
Sui Comes Back Online, Altcoin Still in Good Position
Around 10:52 UTC, web3 security firm ExVull disclosed that a DOS bug caused the Sui network outage. Fully known as a Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack, the bug” refers to a software attack that overwhelms a system with excessive traffic or requests, causing it to become unavailable to legitimate users by crashing or severely slowing its functionality.
“After our analysis, it was found that the Sui Network node occur DOS due to integer overflow,” ExVul stated.
Following this development, several exchanges halted SUI transactions as the price also dipped a little. However, nearly two hours later, the project updated its community, saying that validators had assisted in resolving the issue.
“The Sui network is back up and processing transactions again, thanks to swift work from the incredible community of Sui validators. The 2-hour downtime was caused by a bug in transaction scheduling logic that caused validators to crash, which has now been resolved,” it explained.
Meanwhile, data from Messari showed that, amid the outage, the Sharpe ratio remained positive. The Sharpe ratio is a key measure of risk-adjusted return, indicating how much excess return an investment generates relative to its volatility.
It helps investors assess whether the returns of a riskier asset justify the risk taken. A higher ratio signifies better risk-adjusted performance. Typically, when the ratio is negative, it means that the risk might not be worth the reward.
However, since it is positive for SUI, it indicates that accumulating the altcoin around its current value could still yield positive returns.
SUI Price Prediction: Run Above $4
On the daily chart, SUI continues to trade within an ascending channel. An ascending channel, also called a rising channel or channel up, is a chart pattern defined by two parallel upward-sloping lines.
It forms when the price shows higher swing highs and higher swing lows, indicating an ongoing uptrend. Furthermore, the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) has increased, suggesting that buying pressure has outpaced distribution.
If this continues, SUI’s price could climb above $4. However, if a Sui network outage occurs again, this might not happen. In that scenario, the value could drop below $3.

Aptos Partners with Circle and Stripe to Revitalize Network
The Aptos Foundation announced a new partnership with Circle and Stripe, hoping to revolutionize its network functionality. Circle’s CCTP and USDC stablecoin will enhance blockchain interoperability, while Stripe will attract TradFi by simplifying fiat interactions.
Aptos has set ambitious goals with this partnership, but APT’s upward momentum has stagnated.
Aptos Partners with Circle and Stripe
According to a new announcement from the Aptos (APT) Foundation, its network is integrating Circle’s USDC stablecoin and Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP). Additionally, Aptos is integrating the payment platform Stripe, generally streamlining fiat-related features. These include on- and off-ramps, payment processing, and TradFi ease of adoption.
“Once the integration is complete, users will be able to seamlessly transfer USDC between Aptos and 8 major blockchains. In addition to USDC and CCTP, Stripe will soon launch its payment services on Aptos, creating a reliable fiat on-ramp to streamline merchant pay-ins and payouts using Aptos-compatible wallets,” the firm claimed via press release.
In other words, Aptos aims to use this partnership to make itself “the ultimate hub for interoperable DeFi.” These companies will approach this goal from both ends: enticing new users and investors while substantially improving the core experience. This partnership marks a new development for Stripe’s integration with crypto.
Indeed, Stripe took a six-year hiatus from cryptocurrency payments, which only ended this April. Since then, however, it’s been engaging seriously with the industry. The firm entered an earlier partnership with Circle this June, hoping to promote USDC adoption. Additionally, Stripe acquired Bridge, a crypto payment platform, last month.
For its part, Aptos is undertaking a recovery process. Despite a major price spike in March, it suffered a lingering decline for most of 2024. The asset began regaining steam in October, and the November bull market has brought increased optimism. Still, its gains have stagnated for about a week.
This partnership between Aptos, Circle, and Stripe may help APT regain its forward momentum. These ambitious new features will greatly add functionality and accessibility to Aptos’ network. Still, the firm has set a very ambitious goal for itself: to solidify “its place as a leader in interoperable DeFi and enterprise-grade blockchain technology.” Only time can tell its success level.
