Litecoin Follows Bitcoin’s Momentum, But Resistance Looms At $79.60

[Ben Graham]

According to CryptoWzrd’s daily update, Litecoin (LTC) closed the day on a bullish note, closely tracking Bitcoin’s overall market sentiment. While holding above $75.20 keeps the outlook positive, a break below this level would signal bearish pressure. Conversely, a retest of the $79.60 resistance coupled with signs of weakness could present a potential shorting opportunity.

Litecoin Mirrors Bitcoin’s Momentum In Daily Close

Based on CryptoWzrd analysis, both the daily candles for Litecoin and the LTC/BTC ratio closed in a bullish orientation today, largely mirroring the positive sentiment set by Bitcoin. However, the analyst cautioned that for the LTC/BTC pair to confirm a sustained bullish turn, it must continue to print more bullish daily candles from its current location.

CryptoWzrd emphasized that Litecoin’s overall movement remains highly tethered to Bitcoin’s general market sentiment. For Litecoin, the immediate key to maintaining a favorable outlook is holding above the $80 level. This price point is crucial as it keeps the asset firmly within positive territory and above a critical support line.

Conversely, the analyst warned that a decisive break and close below the $80 support would instantly shift the outlook to bearish. Such a failure would validate further downside, targeting the next significant support level, which is projected to be around $68. This $80 mark is therefore the structural line separating positive and negative momentum.

Given the weekend, the analyst’s immediate trading focus will shift to lower-timeframe charts in search of quick scalp opportunities for the following day. Despite this tactical shift, he advises maintaining rational expectations, acknowledging that low-liquidity weekend sessions often limit decisive moves and necessitate caution.

Intraday Volatility Sets The Stage For Key Trades

CryptoWzrd added to his analysis by noting that the intraday chart for LTC had been quite volatile, requiring a calculated approach to entries. He outlined a clear positive scenario if the price were to successfully retest the key $75.20 support level and then follow up by printing a visible bullish reversal pattern.

However, the analyst noted that a decisive break below the $75.20 support would invalidate the bullish hope and signal a short continuation trade. Another scenario involves a move up to test the $79.60 resistance level, where a clear bearish reversal pattern would confirm a rejection and trigger a short entry.

Essentially, the strategy relies on waiting for the price to confirm its direction at the defined boundaries. CryptoWzrd concluded by advising traders to exercise patience and wait for the next mature trade opportunity to fully unfold and validate the intended direction before committing to a position.
