Until 8 am yesterday, the indicator was showing bullish momentum for Litecoin price action; however, since then, the indicator exhibited a bearish reversal as the 26-EMA overtook the 12-EMA. The indicator again exhibited a reversal in recent hours, but it remains to be seen whether the indicator would continue in this direction.

Recently, the RSI indicator has had a massive spike towards the overbought region, suggesting a bullish presence at the current price level.

The Bollinger bands are currently wide. However, as the bulls show signs of stagnation in recent hours, the Bollinger bands will converge in the short term. Currently, the indicator suggests high Litecoin price volatility in the short-term but shows an inclination towards the upper limit as the price consistently above the bands’ mean line.

Overall, the 4-hour technical analysis issues a buy signal with 15 of the total 26 major technical indicators suggesting their support for a bullish movement. Whereas only one signal indicates a sell signal indicating bearish movement. Meanwhile, ten indicators sit on the fence and do not support either side of the market at press time.

What to expect from Litecoin price?

Traders should expect Litecoin price to continue in its ascending channel as the technical analyses still show strong bullish momentum in the markets. The suggestion is supported by the positive technical indicators that suggest a bullish breakout above the $275 mark towards the $300 mark. The relatively high trade volume further supports this idea and shows high buying volume.

Conversely, if the Litecoin price fails to break above the $275 mark, LTC would fall back to the $250 mark before finding support. However, even then, it is unlikely to break out of the current ascending channel.
