Why Monero is down 4.6% today

Analysis

Monero (XMR) fell 4.6% over the past 24 hours despite a largely positive news catalyst: U.Today reported Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson praising a “massive” Monero protocol upgrade that has been years in the making. The drop suggests the market did not treat the upgrade-related coverage as an immediate bullish driver in this window, with price action moving lower even as attention centered on the forthcoming/ongoing upgrade narrative.
