LTC: will the bounce be short-lived?

What a surprise! LTC bounced hard after I sold it. But will this rally sustain? Let's see what happened:

  • What have a double-top over the last month. The neckline was at around 192, and the target would be 140.
  • We had a downtrend this week & ltc never broke above it.
  • We dropped below 200MA on 4h & 100MA on daily.
  • Crash volume was picking up.

For no obvious reason, we bounced at .618 retracement level. However, right now we're seeing what might be a bearish divergence in volume.

The MACD level is pretty low & has just had a bull cross.

I would be lying if I say I know what's going to happen & my initial assessment 16 hours earlier was bearish.

I still think LTC will fail the neckline & the target of 140 will be reached.

The reason is that a bounce this fast without much volume support & no change in fundamentals is not built on solid foundations. Moreover, BTC still is in its downward channel & broke the long-term support. BTC dipped 3(or was it 5)00 points below the 200D MA & only bounced later.

I think this is a short-term move due to LTC being the only one in the green among major cryptos. People FOMO even in this.



Comment:
has been stronger than I expected
