Litecoin (LTC) Closes Last Hour Up $0.60; Price Base in Formation Over Past 30 Days, 3 Day Up Streak Broken

The Hourly View for LTC

Last Updated April 9, 2021, 13:16 GMT

At the moment, Litecoin’s price is up $0.6 (0.27%) from the hour prior. This move is a reversal from the hour prior, which saw price move down. If you’re a trend trader, consider that the strongest clear trend on the hourly chart exists on the 50 hour timeframe. 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.

Litecoin Technical Analysis

Trend traders will want to observe that the strongest trend appears on the 14 day horizon; over that time period, price has been moving up. Also of note is that on a 30 day basis price appears to be forming a base — which could the stage for it being a support/resistance level going forward. For additional context, note that price has gone up 20 out of the past 30 days. Price action traders may wish to observe the bearish engulfing pattern that has emerged over the past two trading days; in light of the uptrend on the 14 and 90 day charts this may be particularly noteworthy, as it may signal the uptrend is cooling and ready to reverse.

    #Litecoin averaged 1.43 transactions per second the past 24 hrs.To put that into perspective, the high during the 2017-18 #LTC bull run was 2.62The main difference is that this time around, the trxs per second is boring and normal…not at the peak of a crazy market top.
