Litecoin (LTC) Price Near $248.39; 9 Day Down Streak Ended

The Hourly View for LTC

Last Updated April 27, 2021, 04:017 GMT

At the moment, Litecoin’s price is down $-0.02 (-0.01%) from the hour prior. This is the 2nd consecutive hour Litecoin has seen its price head down. If you’re a trend trader, consider that the strongest clear trend on the hourly chart exists on the 20 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 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.
