LTCUSD: Another Ascending Triangle on 4hr Like ETHUSD

14 sept. 2019

Similar to ETH's ascending triangle that developed in past two weeks, Litecoin against USD on the 4hr is in a much cleaner bullish ascending triangle while facing resistance at the 200 MA. The 50&100 MAs have already had a bullish cross, oscillators are looking bullish. Will open a position above $73.25 (above previous swing high) with tight stop loss at $69 for a 2:1 ratio. Horizontal resistance levels around $79-82 with the measured target for the triangle breakout at $82, shown by the golden line.

Note

It's worth noting this ascending triangle is much less complete than ETH's was. This is only about half way through, so expecting a break in 2-3 days when nearer 75% if it continues to hold. The ascending support trendline is also less steep, hence the longer the triangle.

Note

LTCUSD looks like a stable play for this bullish altcoin chart and will likely follow the same path. Both charts have a similar pair of descending & ascending triangles and look like they need a bit more time to solidify the triangle pattern.

Note

Price is finding resistance at the 200 MA that is coming down to the price in steep fashion. Look healthy and maintaining $70, even with low volume. Needs another bounce to the bottom of the triangle possibly like with the altcoin market, or a volume push to breakout of the triangle to the upside like with ETHUSD.

Note

Litecoin needs to hold $68 support otherwise the ascending triangle (green) is invalidated, instead confirming the bear flag (purple). Let's see what occurs first.

Note

Shame about the wick, but holding strong and looking ready to move higher. Hasn't even retested the triangle support trendline (old resistance). Bullish.
