Litecoin (LTC) Closes Prior Hour Up 0.08%; Moves Down For the 9th Day In A Row, Pin Bar Pattern Appearing on Chart

The Hourly View for LTC

Last Updated April 26, 2021, 18:16 GMT

At the time of this writing, Litecoin’s price is up $0.21 (0.08%) from the hour prior. Litecoin has seen its price go up 4 out of the past 5 hours, thus creating some compelling opportunities for bulls. Regarding the trend, note that the strongest trend exists on the 50 hour timeframe. Price action traders may also wish to note that we see a pin bar candlestick pattern on Litecoin. Given that we see an uptrend on the 20 and 5 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.
