Litecoin / USD Short-term price analysis

The four-hour time frame shows that the latest surge has triggered a large inverted head and shoulders pattern, with a bullish pattern reaching its upside objective already.

Technical indicators on the four-hour time frame are moving higher and continue to signal further upside.

Pattern Watch

The upside objective of the bullish inverted head and shoulders pattern on the daily time frame would take the LTC / USD pair towards the June 10th, 2018 trading high.

Relative Strength Index

The Relative Strength indicator is bullish on the daily time frame, although it is showing slight bearish price divergence.

MACD Indicator

The MACD indicator is conflicting on the daily time frame, with the MACD signal line slightly overbought whilst the MACD histogram is lagging.

 

Conclusion

Litecoin has enjoyed a strong start to the month after a fairly lackluster period of price consolidation around the $60.00 level.

The emergence of the large inverted head and shoulders pattern on the daily time frame may trigger an even stronger rally above the $100.00 level over the medium-term.

A minor technical pullback may occur if bulls struggle to move price above neckline resistance on the daily time frame.
