  • Its 24-hour trading volume of $111.9 million equals 1.11% of its $10.13 billion market cap.

Monero Price Today: Short-Term Pullback Within a Monthly Gain

Monero (XMR) is trading at $538.30 as of 2026-09-29 19:56 UTC, according to the data snapshot. The price is down 0.09% over the past 24 hours and down 5.43% over the past seven days, but it remains up 10.95% over the past 30 days. That combination shows a short-term pullback inside a stronger monthly move.

The 1-hour change is -0.88%, meaning the most recent hour also leaned lower. For readers new to these figures, a negative 24-hour change means the price is slightly below where it was a day earlier, while a positive 30-day change means it is still above where it was a month ago.

All figures are as of 2026-09-29 19:56 UTC. They are a snapshot, not a live feed, and they can change quickly.

What the Numbers Show

Short-term vs 30-day performance

The 24-hour move is nearly flat at -0.09%, but the 7-day move is clearly negative at -5.43%. Over 30 days, XMR is up 10.95%. This means the recent week has given back some of the month’s earlier gains. The 1-hour change of -0.88% is the smallest window in the data and shows the most recent hour was weaker than the daily average.

It is useful to keep these time frames separate. A 7-day decline does not erase a 30-day gain, and a 30-day gain does not guarantee the next week will be positive. The data only describes what has already happened up to the snapshot time.

Trading activity: volume vs market cap

Monero’s 24-hour trading volume is $111,914,589 against a market cap of $10,126,101,851. That puts the volume-to-market-cap ratio at 1.11%. In plain terms, about 1.1% of the network’s total market value changed hands in the past day. A lower ratio like this generally points to quieter trading activity relative to the asset’s size, while a higher ratio would suggest more active turnover.

Volume can rise or fall for many reasons, including market-wide moves, exchange listings, or broader risk sentiment. This snapshot does not include historical volume comparisons, so the 1.11% figure should be read as a single point in time rather than a trend.

Market position and wider mood

XMR ranks 13th by market cap among all tracked assets. The total crypto market cap stands at $2,863,537,134,383, up 0.49% over 24 hours. Bitcoin dominance is 58.6%, meaning Bitcoin accounts for a little more than half of the total market value.

The Fear & Greed index reads 73, labeled “Greed.” That suggests sentiment is tilted toward optimism, though the index is a broad market gauge and does not measure Monero specifically. The 30-day altcoin season index is 78, which indicates altcoins have been relatively strong versus Bitcoin over that window.

Against that backdrop, XMR’s 24-hour move of -0.09% is close to flat while the overall market is slightly positive. Its 7-day decline of -5.43% stands out against the broader 24-hour gain, but the 30-day gain of 10.95% is in line with an environment where altcoins have shown strength.

How to Read This Snapshot

  • Time frames matter: the same asset can be down over 7 days and up over 30 days.
  • Volume ratio: 1.11% of market cap traded in 24 hours, a measure of activity, not direction.
  • Context: market cap rank 13, Bitcoin dominance 58.6%, Fear & Greed 73 (Greed), altcoin season index 78.
  • Timestamp: every figure here is as of 2026-09-29 19:56 UTC.
