Litecoin is currently in a steady uptrend, trading above key moving averages. The price has risen from recent lows near $77 to current levels around $86. While momentum is positive, the RSI suggests the asset is approaching overbought territory, indicating potential for a short-term pullback. This creates a scenario where waiting for a better entry point might be prudent.
Current Market Position
LTC is trading at $85.91, up 0.75% in 24 hours. It’s currently above both the 20-day ($85.76) and 50-day ($83.48) Simple Moving Averages (SMAs), which is a bullish sign. The price has climbed significantly from the recent low of $77.36 seen in the hourly data.
Momentum & Strength Check
The RSI (Relative Strength Index) is at 58.76. An RSI above 50 shows bullish momentum, but values above 70 are considered overbought. We’re getting closer to that zone, suggesting the current rally might be running out of immediate steam and could see a pause or small dip.
Key Price Levels to Watch
Looking at the recent price swings, the asset has found support (a floor where buying happens) around $84.69 and $83.75. It has faced resistance (a ceiling where selling happens) near $85.67 and $86.57. The highest recent peak was $86.57.
Trading Strategy for Beginners
The trend is up, but buying at the current price carries risk of a short-term pullback. A safer strategy is to wait for a dip to a support level to buy. If you already own LTC, you could consider taking some profit near recent highs. Always use a stop-loss to manage risk.
