Litecoin Reversal: Case for a Bearish Head and Shoulders Play
Hello everyone, I'd like to share with you my current outlook on the Litecoin market, based on the technical analysis of the LTC perpetual futures contract. I've identified a formation that prompts some caution: a potential Head and Shoulders pattern that's taking shape on the daily chart.
This technical indicator is traditionally interpreted as a precursor to a bearish reversal. You can see here the central peak, which is higher—that's the head—and the two other peaks, roughly at the same height, are the shoulders. This pattern is confirmed by decreasing volume, which bolsters my belief in an upcoming trend reversal.
Therefore, my strategy will be to set up a short position as soon as we see a convincing breakdown of the support level, which is just below the current price. I've set my downside target at around 60 USD, down from the current level of about 97 USD. This potential profit zone is clearly marked here in red.
