At the time of this writing, LTC’s price is down $0 (0%) from the hour prior. This is a reversal of the price action on the previous hour, in which price moved up. 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 LTC.

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 $LTC works decent for payments, but has shown in 2018 to perform poorly under tx spikes, with dropped payments and fees going to almost $2! 😱 It also takes ~2.5 minutes to get a conformation, even longer before a payment is considered secure (though never final).
