At the moment, LTC’s price is up $0.84 (0.33%) from the hour prior. This move is a reversal from the hour prior, which saw price move down. 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 LTC. Given that we see downtrend on the 10 hourly candle timeframe, and that such candlestick patterns often denote reversals, this may be worth noting. Of note is that the 50 hour changed directions on LTC; it is now pointing up. 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:

    2021:12 months = 12 roundsWe are in the 4th round. In most 12 round fight, the boxers are warmed up by the 4th. We have 8 rounds to go so don’t be telling me #Litecoin is lagging. Your coin came out too strong early bc of lack of experience. $LTC ATH APRIL.

  • From cryptoaddict86:

    @kingjimmyc Doge is a fork of litecoin… with all the hype around it I could definitely see it getting to a $1 one day but $100 will take a very long time if ever lollll…It’s a gambling coin, you could make a lot and you could loose a lot because it’s so volatile…

  • From LitecoinForever:

    A $24-million Basic Income Guaranteed program, which will be included in the city budget would provide $1,000 a month to 2,000 Los Angeles families for a year. There will be no obligation on how to spend the money, according to the mayor’s office. Accumulate Litecoin.
    $LTC 💎🙌
