Technical analyst Peter Brandt favors Monero while pointing to potential resistance for XRP's ongoing rally.
Technical analyst Peter Brandt favors Monero while pointing to potential resistance for XRP's ongoing rally. XRP (XRP) is trading at $1.41. This is an original TLT brief based on reporting by Blockonomi, with live market data added, as of Sun, 11 Oct 2026 20:15:02 UTC.
Brandt's analysis highlights shifting investor sentiment towards privacy-focused cryptocurrencies like Monero, while also identifying key technical levels that could impact XRP's price trajectory.
- Peter Brandt prefers Monero due to its resolved overhead supply issues.
- XRP faces selling pressure from investors who bought at higher prices.
- XRP's rally towards $2.16 could face resistance due to a weak reversal pattern.
Technical analyst Peter Brandt has expressed a preference for 
Monero (XMR) over other altcoins, citing the resolution of its previous overhead supply as a positive indicator for future price performance.
In contrast, Brandt points to 
XRP's potential challenges, noting that the cryptocurrency's rally towards $2.16 could be hindered by selling pressure from investors who bought at higher prices. This selling pressure could create significant resistance levels.
XRP's current reversal pattern, characterized by a short and poorly formed right shoulder, further complicates its bullish outlook, according to Brandt. This technical pattern suggests potential weakness in the ongoing rally.
Monero's price has shown relative strength, with a 24-hour gain of 2.32% and a current price of $539.99, while XRP has seen a more modest increase of 0.35% to $1.41. The broader market remains relatively flat, with 
Bitcoin up 0.79% and the total crypto market cap at $2.9 trillion.
Brandt's analysis suggests that investors should monitor these key levels and patterns for both Monero and XRP. The resolution of XRP's resistance and the continuation of Monero's bullish momentum will be important indicators to watch.
