NEM / USD Conclusion
NEM is growing increasingly bullish, with both time frames currently showing bullish patterns playing out to the upside.
If the XEM / USD pair can start to stabilize above its 200-day moving average, the cryptocurrency could easily reach the intended targets of the bullish patterns on both time horizons.
