The Hourly View for LTC

Last Updated April 23, 2021, 03:016 GMT

At the time of this writing, Litecoin’s price is down $-0.4 (-0.17%) from the hour prior. Litecoin has seen its price go down 5 out of the past 5 hours, thus creating some compelling opportunities for bears. As for the trend on the hourly timeframe, we see the clearest trend on the 20 hour timeframe. Price action traders may also wish to note that we see a pin bar candlestick pattern on Litecoin. Given that we see downtrend on the 20 and 10 hourly candle timeframe, and that such candlestick patterns often denote reversals, this may be worth noting. 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.

    @YahooFinance you allowed misinformation to spread on your platform about #Dogecoin. What happened to your research team? We do have a team of programmers constantly maintaining Doge. We do run a system similar to Litecoin. DOGE has a soft market cap! @BillyM2k @dogecoin_devs
