Litecoin Price Analysis

Weekly Chart

Even though Litecoin is down five percent in the last week, there is a reprieve as far as investors and traders are concerned. From the chart, it’s evident that prices are down 80+ percent from 2017 gains but $50 is providing support.

While we can interpret this revival as a retest because of early Aug 2018 breaks below $70, the strength of $50 as a reliable support could cancel this bear break out trade pattern. Aside, notice that Litecoin prices have been consolidating within a $20 range with resistance at $70 in the last two months.

Furthermore, the long lower wicks hint of a potential shift of momentum from bears to bulls. Therefore, fusing all this, we retain a Litecoin bullish outlook. This position shall be null only if there are strong and rapid losses confirming week ending Aug 12 losses driving LTC below $50. Before then, we remain upbeat expecting surges above $70 triggering buys aiming at $90 and $110.

Daily Chart

A ranging market and strong supports at $50 could form a strong foundation for buyers to drive Litecoin prices above $70. Gains as such will nullify the beak break out pattern and losses of Sep 5 indicating a shift of momentum from bears to bulls.

Because of the last two bull bars, risk off traders can load at spot prices with stops at $55 and targets at $70 and later $90 if buy momentum is strong. However, this depends on market level participation propelling prices above $70 triggering bulls.
