Litecoin long-term Price Analysis: 06 November

A case of better late than never, the altcoin market is finally rallying behind Bitcoin, and Litecoin is following suit. With Bitcoin consolidating above $15,000 for the first time in 2020, LTC was trying to find its feet in the market. While uncertainty might plague its immediate trend, in the long-term Litecoin might re-test its February 2020 highs over the course of the next month.

Litecoin’s 1-day chart suggested a bullish breakout from a descending channel on 22nd October. It was on the same day that LTC surged above $50 and has remained above ever since. The old resistance range (grey rectangle box) is currently acting as a support range for the present trend. While a proper breakout is currently taking place, the price is also incurring underlying support from the 50-Moving Average.

The trading volume attained a recent high on October 22nd and October 5th, both days being monumental as Litecoin breached above $50 and $60 respectively. The high trading volume during the spike suggested buyers were pushing the price in a bullish direction.

Market Reasoning

Market Indicators were a little contradictory. Relative Strength Index or RSI is currently re-testing a position in the overbought zone, and a period of correction may take place. However, on the other hand, MACD completed a bullish crossover over the past 12-hours, and seemingly predicting a bullish rally going forward.

Awesome Oscillator also pictured the return of green candles, indicating the rising bullish momentum. Hence, RSI may rise over the next few days before eventually attaining a period of correction.

Litecoin will have the momentum to re-test its February 2020 highs but the timeline of the re-test may be subject to change according to the overall market.
