- Peter Brandt favors Monero over XRP based on technical analysis.

- XRP's recovery towards $2.16 could face resistance due to historical price levels.
Technical analyst Peter Brandt has expressed a preference for 
Monero over 
XRP in his latest analysis of altcoin charts. Brandt highlighted that Monero's previous overhead supply has been absorbed, which could provide stronger price support compared to other cryptocurrencies.
In contrast, Brandt pointed out that XRP faces potential selling pressure from investors who bought at higher price levels. This resistance could interrupt XRP's recovery towards the $2.16 mark. The analyst noted that while XRP is showing a reversal pattern, its right shoulder is short and poorly formed, indicating potential weakness.
The analysis comes as the broader cryptocurrency market remains relatively flat, with 
Bitcoin showing a modest 24-hour gain of 0.79%. The overall market cap stands at $2.9 trillion, and the Fear & Greed index is at 61, indicating a state of 'Greed' among investors.
Monero is currently trading at $540.03, up 2.33% in the last 24 hours, while XRP is at $1.41, with a slight 0.39% increase over the same period. Despite XRP's recent gains, Brandt's analysis suggests that its upward movement could be challenged by historical price levels.
Investors and traders may want to watch for how these technical dynamics play out in the coming days. Monero's stronger technicals could make it an attractive option for those looking to diversify their altcoin holdings, while XRP's recovery could face headwinds if selling pressure intensifies.
