Horizontal Channel

The price of LTC/USD on Bitfinex was analyzed at two-hour intervals from Apr 11 to Apr 25 to determine the current trading pattern. We do not include euros in this section because only one trading pair is needed to generate the current trading pattern. Both LTC/USD and LTC/EUR are discussed in the final two sections.

On Apr 24, the price reached a high of $75.30. Several market cycles have been completed. The price has reached the same level three times.

Tracing these highs gives us a horizontal resistance line:

On Apr 24, the price reached a low of $70.6. A gradual increase was followed by a gradual decrease. The price has reached the same level several times. Tracing these lows gives us a horizontal support line.

The support and resistance lines combine to create a horizontal channel:

Litecoin is likely to trade inside the confines of the channel until a decisive move occurs. In order to predict the direction of the move, we need to take a look at technical indicators.

Technical Indicators

The relative strength index (RSI) is an indicator which calculates the size of the changes in price in order to determine oversold or overbought conditions in the market.

The price of LTC/USD is shown alongside the RSI below:

On Apr 24, the price reached a low of $70.60. It reached the same level on Apr 26 and 29.

Similarly, the RSI made the first low on Apr 24. However, it has continued to generate higher values since.

This is known as bullish divergence and often precedes price increases.

The use of this indicator makes it likely that the price will increase towards the resistance line of the wedge. A breakout is possible.

Future Movement

To better determine actual future price levels, we examine resistance areas.

Resistance areas are formed when the price reaches a certain level several times. In the case of a breakout/breakdown, they can provide likely areas of reversal.

One resistance area is shown for LTC/USD in the first graph and LTC/EUR in the second graph:

The closest resistance area is found near $83 and €74. If the price of Litecoin were to break out from the current trading pattern, it might reach these levels.

However, price increases in the short-term may not lead to a breakout. Price may move toward the resistance line before falling back toward support.

Summary Of Analysis

Based on this analysis, it is likely that the price will move towards the resistance line of the wedge. An eventual breakout remains possible. If a breakout does occur, the $80 and €70 thresholds.
