Technical Indicators
At the time of writing, the price is very close to the resistance line of the channel.
Will it break out?
In order to answer this question, the price is analyzed at daily intervals alongside the RSI and the 10- and 20- day moving averages below:
On May 6, the 10-day MA crossed above the 20-day one. This often indicates that an uptrend has begun. In the case of LTC, it initiated the move from $80 to the current price.
However, since reaching a high of $106 on May 16, the RSI has created bearish divergence. This often precedes price decreases.
The use of these indicators makes a breakout from the channel unlikely. The long-term divergence indicates that the upward move is losing power. However, as evidenced by the moving averages, we are in an uptrend. Therefore, increases at the rate predicted by the channel remain a likely possibility.
Finding Long-Term Support
One support and one resistance area is traced for LTC/USD below. If the LTC price begins a decisive upward or downward move, they are likely to provide a reversal.
Summary
The Litecoin price is trading inside a long term ascending channel. Based on this analysis, it is likely that the price will continue to increase at the rate predicted by the channel until it reaches the resistance area outlined above.
