Privacy-focused cryptocurrency Monero (XMR) is gaining renewed attention from market analysts. Cryptocurrency analyst Kevin Svenson recently stated that, supported by long-term technical trends and ongoing development activities, Monero could see an increase of over 80% by mid to late 2026 and is expected to hit new all-time highs.
Svenson pointed out that from a technical perspective, Monero has established a parabolic upward trend that has lasted nearly two years. The current price is gradually approaching previous historical high regions, which is often seen in technical analysis as a potential signal of trend acceleration. He predicts that if this structure remains intact, Monero could enter a new upward phase around July 2026.
In his analysis, he emphasized that Monero’s movement has been relatively low-key, but its technical outlook continues to improve. “Monero is quietly completing a two-year parabolic structure and is now approaching a critical breakout point.” In the current market environment, such a trend is uncommon among both mainstream and non-mainstream crypto assets.
On the fundamental side, Monero’s active development also supports this judgment. Data from blockchain analytics firm Santiment shows that Monero recorded multiple significant development events on GitHub over the past 30 days, ranking sixth among privacy coin projects in terms of development activity. Researchers noted that ongoing code updates and protocol maintenance typically reflect the project team’s commitment to long-term development.
Industry observers generally agree that development activity is an important indicator of a crypto project’s health, especially for blockchain networks emphasizing security and privacy. As a representative privacy coin, Monero’s technological iterations and community maintenance have always been its core competitive advantages.
It is important to note that this price forecast mainly comes from Svenson’s personal analysis and has not yet gained consensus from other mainstream analysts. Meanwhile, the overall growth momentum of the cryptocurrency market has recently slowed, and macroeconomic conditions and regulatory changes could still impact price trends.
Overall, supported by both technical trends and fundamental development, Monero is regarded by some analysts as one of the privacy-focused crypto assets worth watching in the medium to long term. Whether it can achieve the expected gains remains to be further validated by the market.
