The Hourly View for LTC
Last Updated January 3, 2021, 02:046 GMT
At the moment, LTC’s price is down $-0.35 (-0.25%) from the hour prior. It’s been a feast for bulls operating on an hourly timeframe, as LTC has now gone up 4 of the past 5 hours. If you’re a trend trader, consider that the strongest clear trend on the hourly chart exists on the 50 hour timeframe. 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.
