The Hourly View for LTC

Last Updated June 17, 2021, 02:046 GMT

At the time of this writing, LTC’s price is up $1.17 (0.69%) from the hour prior. This is the 3rd consecutive hour LTC has seen its price head up. If you’re a trend trader, consider that the strongest clear trend on the hourly chart exists on the 100 hour timeframe. Regarding moving averages, it should first be noted that price has crossed the 100 and 20 hour moving averages, resulting in them so that price is now turning above 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.
