> **Visual Note:** A TradingView weekly candlestick chart of Helborski+Coomer's $XMR/USD price shows the cryptocurrency currently trading at $319.72 (down 3.65%), with the post noting its neutral but risk-to-the-downside position requiring a reclaim of $410 for a bullish shift. A red horizontal resistance zone is marked around the $400-$410 area, aligning with the trader's key reclaim level.

Doesn't look great to me but not completely awful either.

More neutral currently but riskier to drop.

Needs to reclaim $410 for me to shift bullish bias."

I initially approached the Carrot debate skeptically from both sides, those who were in favor of Carrot (More specifically, the new view keys) and also against it. After digging on the topic I've been come to the conclusion that not only carrot is a bad thing - most posts, articles, etc. That I've read defending it seem to be of extremely low quality, often overcomplicating explanations, and completely missing key points of Monero's philosophy and privacy. I will break down the most common arguments in favor of the new view keys, and why I think they have no solid foundation."

I am currently looking for a way to buy Monero (from fiat) without any KYC and found HaveNo on Monero's official website. I have been searching a little about haveno, its workings and especially privacy, data logging and posts about trust for this service. Are there any such articles that would help me understand what are its limitations, what it does for privacy or against? Has anyone had any problem with haveno? On a side-note I saw monero recommending retoswap as a network for using monero, I have the same questions about it. Any help (or constructive criticism) is appreciated. Thank you."
