LTCUSD: Resistance Levels Still In Play. Waiting For 114 Level.

LTCUSD update: All of these coins are in a tough spot. They are in one of those situations where they may continue to rally just a little further. Usually they rally just enough to attract all of the anxious longs who could not hold out any longer. Once they are all in, the market now has enough gasoline for the potential selling momentum that can lead to the next bearish retrace.

In my earlier article on S.C., the point that I made about this market was that it is not in a good position to buy. With the 128 reversal zone boundary near and 138 resistance (.382 of recent bearish structure) there is only higher risk of retrace if price explores these areas.

Why buy near these short term highs when there is much better potential and probability at lower prices? The question is, how do we know the lower prices will we tested? We don't.

We only know two things: IF price goes back into the 114 area, that is a price we anticipate support. If price over reacts and tests the 109 level, then that is an even more attractive area to accumulate inventory and put on a swing trade.

Those are two scenarios that offer a better probability than the current situation. Remember consistent performance comes from planning ahead, and selecting opportunities that offer higher probability and better reward/risk. Since these opportunities are filtered by particular criteria, they are not frequent.

This is why we would rather miss moves than participate in random price action. Random may pay you now, but it will rob you in the long run.

At S.C., we employ a number of strategies to capitalize on sentiment and price momentum across many markets, not just the coins. Quiet markets are perfect for researching other instruments or strategies in preparation for the next opportunity.
