Litecoin (LTC) Closes Prior Hour Down -0.24%; Makes Big Move Relative to Two Week Trend, 2 Day Down Streak Ended

The Hourly View for LTC

Last Updated October 8, 2020, 01:036 GMT

At the time of this writing, LTC’s price is down $-0.11 (-0.24%) from the hour prior. LTC has seen its price go down 4 out of the past 5 hours, thus creating some compelling opportunities for bears. If you’re a trend trader, consider that the strongest clear trend on the hourly chart exists on the 20 hour timeframe. Most noteworthy in the world of moving averages on the hourly chart is that the 20 and 50 hour moving averages have been crossed, with price now being below them. The moving averages on the hourly timeframe suggest a choppiness in price, as the 20, 50, 100 and 200 are all in a mixed alignment — meaning the trend across timeframes is inconsistent, indicating a potential opportunity for rangebound traders.
