Litecoin (LTC) Price Near $50.06; 6 Day Up Streak Broken, in an Uptrend Over Past 14 Days

The Hourly View for LTC

Last Updated October 14, 2020, 01:036 GMT

At the moment, LTC’s price is down $-0.12 (-0.24%) from the hour prior. This move is a reversal from the hour prior, which saw price move up. If you’re a trader with a preference for rangebound markets, you may wish to note that there isn’t a clear trend on the 20, 50 and 100 hour timeframes. The moving averages on the hourly timeframe suggest a choppiness in price, as the 20, 50, 100 and 200 are all in a mixed alignment — meaning the trend across timeframes is inconsistent, indicating a potential opportunity for rangebound traders.
