In Brief

  • The Litecoin (LTC) price has fallen under a descending resistance line since its yearly high in July. The price reached a low on August 17.
  • Despite the decrease, LTC has created a double bottom pattern combined with bullish divergence in the RSI. These are strong signs of a bullish trend reversal.
  • Failure to break out from the line will mean that the LTC trend is still bearish. In that case, a 25% drop to the $50 horizontal support area could transpire.

A breakout from the descending resistance line will confirm that the correction is complete and that the bottom is in.

Litecoin Price Creates Bullish Pattern

While the price returned to its previous low on Sept. 11, it created a double bottom pattern. The double bottom is considered a bullish pattern, meaning it usually leads to breakouts. Furthermore, the pattern was combined with a bullish divergence in the RSI.

The RSI is a momentum indicator used by traders to assess whether a market is overbought or oversold and to make decisions about accumulating or selling an asset. Readings above 50 and a rising trend signal an advantage for bulls, while readings below 50 indicate the opposite.

A bullish divergence occurs when a price decrease is combined with a momentum increase. It is a bullish sign that often leads to significant increases.

If the cryptocurrency breaks out from the line, it can increase by 37% to the next resistance at $85. The 0.5 Fib retracement resistance level creates the resistance.

On the other hand, failure to break out will likely lead to a 20% drop in the $50 horizontal support area. If the price follows the resistance line, it will reach this area by the beginning of October.

LTC Price Prediction: Short-Term Breakout Can Catalyze Long-Term Increase

The technical analysis from the six-hour timeframe reiterates the bullish findings from the daily one.

Similarly to the daily timeframe, there is a significant bullish divergence in the six-hour RSI. This supports the creation of a double-bottom pattern and the beginning of a long-term increase. The indicator is above 50, another bullish sign.

Moreover, LTC has broken out from a short-term descending resistance line. It is possible that this breakout will catalyze a breakout from the long-term descending resistance line, taking the price above the $85 resistance area.

Despite this bullish LTC price prediction, failure to break out from the long-term descending resistance line will likely lead to a 20% drop to the closest support at $50.
