Litecoin’s price has been moving between $163.91 and $243.95 since February and has not managed to breakdown from this range since. This wave-like movement between the aforementioned level has pushed the digital asset towards a bullish reign.
However, it may not be able to hold onto the bullishness as the bears in the market progress. This could be an opportune time to short the digital asset.
Reasoning
The low volatility in the market was highlighted by the convergence of the Bollinger Bands. However, this low volatility has not been able to hold the bears at a distance. The market appeared to be at a point where it was going to flip the market trend.
The signal line has been under the candlesticks, which meant that the price is trending higher. However, the signal line was close to crossing over, which suggested that despite the current bullishness, the LTC market was losing steam and may witness a drop. Similarly, the 50 moving average was also acting as a support, however, if the price breaks the support it may be heading towards $163.91.
While the momentum in the market has been lost due to the low volatility, a rise in momentum could be seen as the price drops.
