The Hourly View for LTC

Last Updated June 7, 2021, 04:016 GMT

At the time of this writing, Litecoin’s price is up $0.55 (0.3%) 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. If you’re a trend trader, consider that the strongest clear trend on the hourly chart exists on the 100 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.

    @lite_hause This truly is the case. Litecoin feels like one of the few coins that hasn’t been entirely lost in all of the profits.The goal still seems similar to the early days: Replace fiat.Accomplishing that can only be done by the good projects in the space supporting each other.
