Cryptoinsightuk analyst Will Taylor said Monero’s multi-year market structure could support a move toward the $1,000 area, with a potential upside target as high as $1,160 if the current weekly trend continues.
Taylor shared a weekly XMR chart on X and linked the setup to a broader thesis around privacy coins. He argued Monero’s market structure has continued to improve despite regulatory and exchange pressure on privacy-focused assets.
“Looking to see if this trend continues or not. Structural higher lows and higher highs, with volatility of the upside moves increasing. I’m thinking a TP below / around the psychological level of $1,000,” Taylor wrote.
He added that a more aggressive target sits above that level, noting that the weekly close would be needed for confirmation. “There is also an argument for the $1,160 region that would align with the 2.618 fib level.”
The chart shows Monero trading near $388 against USDT on KuCoin. Taylor’s projected move toward the $1,160 area would imply a gain of around 200% from the highlighted region, according to the chart’s measurement.
Taylor’s market-cap chart also showed XMR around $7.15 billion, with Fibonacci extension levels mapped above the current range.
Taylor’s view was not limited to near-term price structure. In a longer note from The Weekly Insight, he framed Monero as a bet on the persistence of crypto privacy demand, even as regulators and exchanges have moved against privacy tokens.
He wrote that there has been “an international push to essentially halt privacy tokens like Monero, Dash, and others,” citing their ability to make transactions difficult, if not impossible, to trace. Taylor said this was the “original vision for crypto—an anonymous, decentralized financial system.”
For Taylor, delistings and regulatory scrutiny do not eliminate the market for privacy assets; they may instead sharpen the divide between assets optimized for compliance visibility and those built around transaction confidentiality.
“Although privacy tokens are being delisted from exchanges, there is still a valid market for them, regardless of how large that market may be,” Taylor wrote. “Many people, myself included, value privacy and believe that it will continue to play a significant role in the future of crypto.”
As press time, XMR traded at $387.97.
