All charts (XMR/XAU, XMR/USD, XMR/BTC) suggest that Monero has room for a short term +100% move maybe even touching 4 figures for a while before seeing a correction to $500 or BTC 0.005 in 2026.

At that point I'd expect some states to enter pre-panic mode. Especially those that delisted or banned Monero as it shows they lost control. States will push the delisting of KuCoin. Market will dump on short term liquidity drain, but see it as ultimate proof that Monero is the real deal.
