Technical analysis by VictorCobra about Symbol LTC: Buy recommendation (12/20/2024)

As much as I blast Litecoin, I think there's a trading opportunity here. Some other OG cryptocurrencies have gone up 5x recently - XLM and XRP, for instance. I don't mind this, because I actually think those coins are at least a little more viable as currencies than Bitcoin. I'm keeping this short. Just taking advantage of volatility. A 40%+ pullback with the potential of a 200% move? I'll take it. Here to have fun, not here to question things right now. Litecoin active addresses are stable around 300k, though having steadily moved up over the last couple of years from 200K. bitinfocharts.com/comparison/litecoin-activeaddresses.htmlBitcoin active addresses have climbed a bit recently up to 750K, after actually declining the last couple years. bitinfocharts.com/comparison/bitcoin-activeaddresses.htmlAs crappy as price behavior has been for LTC over the years, I like its growth pattern to an extent. It's important to keep in mind that while on a very slow long term uptrend, Litecoin has broken down out of its major long term uptrend (orange) This was why I had assumed more downside was to come. Given that LTC tends to pump last in the cycle, I'm taking a gamble on this thing flying back into the long term uptrend. There's A LOT of resistance overhead, especially at the broken uptrend, near $150-160 currently. Here's the shorter term structure, with some bullish arrows drawn. Taking out the recent low near $85 would be a bearish sign and could send price quickly back to $66 support. Let's see what happens. If the market has already topped, oh well. Risking a neglegable amount here. R/R seems decent to me.This meant for speculation and entertainment only.-Victor CobraLong 1x from $95.50Closed around $101 for profit. Don't really like the current structural weakness, especially for Bitcoin and ETH
