Since 22 August, LTC faced resistance at the $68-$70 region. It formed a range (orange) that extended from $68.35 down to $57.8. In the past week, the price consolidated around the range high. It formed a new lower timeframe range (white) from $70.88 to $66.12.
At the time of writing the market structure on the one-hour chart was bullish. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) was above neutral 50 and signaled a move higher was possible. The On-Balance Volume (OBV) reinforced this idea with its uptrend, showing increased buying volume over the past few days.
A dip to the $66-$67.5 zone could offer a short-term buying opportunity targeting the range high. Short sellers could also enter LTC trades if the price reaches the $71 mark and faces rejection.
