A rising wedge pattern governs the ongoing recovery in the LTC/USDT pair. Following this pattern, altcoin surged 63% and formed a local top at the $64.5 mark. However, the very nature of this pattern is to resume the prevailing downtrend once the price breaches its rising support trendline.
Key points from LTC analysis:
- The LTC price nearing the apex of the wedge pattern may soon lead to a breakout action
- The 20-and-50-day EMA flipped into a viable support
- The intraday trading volume in the Litecoin coin is $537.6 Million, indicating a 21.6% gain.
