Monero’s [XMR] 90-day performance evaluation has these tips for its traders

Currently ranked as a leading privacy crypto coin, Monero’s XMR has been in a fierce battle with the bears in the last 90 days. At a 77% decline from its all-time high of $517.62, the ongoing bullish correction in the cryptocurrency market has had little to no impact on the performance of the XMR coin. More so, price performance continues to plummet even after the network’s tail emission upgrade.
