Descending Channel
Technical Indicators
The Litecoin (LTC) price is analyzed alongside the RSI and the 10- and 20-period moving averages (MA) below:
On Jun 4, the price made similar lows near $98. During this time, the RSI made higher lows. This is known as bullish divergence and often precedes price increases.
Furthermore, the price is very close to trading above both the 10- and 20- period moving averages. A bullish cross is also close to occurring.
On Jun 4, the MAs provided resistance to the price and a bullish cross was rejected. It is possible that the pattern will repeat itself. However, the bullish divergence supports an increase. A decisive movement above the MAs could trigger an upward move towards the resistance line of the channel.
However, this would only be a short-term increase. In our previous analysis, we stated that:
There is bearish divergence developing in the RSI. In this timeframe (3-day), this has not occurred since August 2017.
Current market movements have done nothing to invalidate our assumption, and the short-term divergence is not sufficient to do so.
