The RSI has been increasing above and below 50 almost at will, and the Stochastic Oscillator has made several bullish and bearish closes.

Wave Count

Cryptocurrency trader @Crypto618 stated that the Litecoin chart does not look bullish, but likely has one more move down before the price could eventually resume its upward movement.

It is possible that since the Aug 17 high, the price has been correcting inside an A-B-C formation (shown in blue below). If this is the correct count, the current movement would be some type of sub-wave 4 (in black), after which the price would decrease once more. However, the movement inside the triangle has extended for a longer-than-usual period of time, casting doubt on the possibility that this is sub-wave 4. A breakout or down from the triangle would be required in order to accurately determine the wave count since too many possibilities are legitimate at the current time.

To conclude, the direction of Litecoin’s next move is not clear, rather a breakout or down from the current pattern is required before a bullish or bearish case can be made.
