Litecoin (LTC) Price Near $238.87; 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, 04:016 GMT

At the time of this writing, Litecoin’s price is up $0.29 (0.12%) from the hour prior. It’s been a feast for bulls operating on an hourly timeframe, as Litecoin has now gone up 4 of the past 5 hours. Regarding the trend, note that the strongest trend exists on the 100 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 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.

  • From JohnkimLTC:

    I can honestly say I have a different relationship with my #Litecoin. My blood sweat and tears went into acquiring and hodling it. I feel like I’ve earned every “Łite”
    that I have in my possession. The success of $LTC means so much more than the usd value of it.

  • From sethforprivacy:

    6/ Thinking that coins that I could have “a lot” of would be more valuable long term.This pulled me into clear scams like TRON along with zombie chains like Litecoin. Once you realize that Bitcoin etc. are divisible it helps get past the “I need 1mil coins!” phase.

  • From MASTERBTCLTC:

    Lots of people always tell me that I’m being to risky holding 100% of my net worth in litecoin. Little do they know that they’re taking way more risk holding 100% of their wealth in fiat.#LTC🚀 #Litecoin🚀
