Monero Price Analysis and Network Challenges
- Monero faces selfish mining attacks from Qubic Pool, causing deep chain reorganizations and orphaned blocks.
- The community is exploring short-term mitigations and long-term solutions, including the "Publish and Perish" proposal.
Price-wise, Monero is trading at $299, up nearly 30% from a local bottom during high selfish mining activity. It is above the 50-day exponential moving average, indicating bullish momentum, with an RSI of 59.
Despite these gains, the ongoing attacks have raised concerns about network reliability, as confirmed by recent 18-block-deep reorganizations invalidating transactions.
