Past Performance or Trend

The past three months have been a roller coaster ride for the LTC coin as the new correction phase has nullified all the gains the coin gathered in October and early November. The price has lost around 51% from the previous top of $296 and is currently hovering above the $141 support. 

Bullish RSI Divergence Hints An Upward Rally For LTC 

For the past three weeks, the LTC coin price has been resonating between the $166.5 and $141 mark, creating a narrow range in this chart. Such consolidation phase brings an excellent trending opportunity for traders when the price breaches either of the borderlines.

Furthermore, the coin also reveals a falling wedge pattern in the 4-hour time frame chart. On December 19th, the price gave a decisive breakout from the resistance trendline, indicating a better chance for the price to challenge the overhead resistance of $166.5. 

The current price of the LTC coin is $159, with an intraday gain of 4.04%. The 24-hour volume change is $1.55 Billion, indicating a 60% hike. As per Coinmarketcap, the coins stand at 18th rank with their current market cap of $10,686,132,291 (+4.09).
