LTC Nearing Decision Time for 15-25% Swing

Cập nhật

Following yesterday's 10% swing LTCUSD has formed a larger diamond as predicted. If you followed yesterdays idea you caught a 10% swing and now a setup for larger 15-25% swing looks to be forming.

Inside of the diamond are mixed chart signals including a potential descending triangle forming and a potential inverse head and shoulders.

As price action nears the APEX of the diamond, watch for a breakout of the Diamond and confirmation of either a bottom or a half-staff continuation.

Price targets on chart for breakout in either direction.

Breaking up out of the descending triangle before it forms would be a preliminary bullish indicator. A move to the upper trend line would further support the bullish scenario.

Moving down to the bottom trend line of the potential descending triangle would confirm the pattern and support a bearish scenario.

Ghi chú

The downward resistance trend line the descending triangle has broke, giving more support to a potential bullish scenario.

Two 4k+ LTC buys back to back on GDAX. Expecting a test of the larger diamond tip around 126.91 here. Will review MAs and ICHI clouds for other interim targets.

Ghi chú

Currently hitting 26ema on the 2 hr.

Have ICHI could resistance on the 30 just short of 125.

Past resistance in the chart. Otherwise, should be all clear to test the larger diamond upper tip.

Ghi chú

Bull volume still strong. snag.gy/bYAICP.jpg

Historically speaking, LTC pivots on 5 with 2.50 and 7.50 being battlegrounds. If bulls can't take 122.5, I would expect a pullback below 120.

Ghi chú

We're up 9% already but just a reminder, Tight stops are mandatory.

Ghi chú

Battling for the critical 2.50 pivot now.

Ghi chú

Bears rejected 2.50 . Not liking the potential gravestone on the 30. Really a horrible candle by itself. However, next candle could confirm trend reversal.

Ghi chú

Gravestone turned into a potential evening star. I might to take profit on the next pump here and look buy back in below 120.

Ghi chú

Back to an doji. Trade still active watching price action to see if bulls will continue up.

Ghi chú

Little pump... this candle is fine. Indicates upward continuation.

Ghi chú

Bulls pushing toward 2.50 again...

Ghi chú

2.50 taken.

Ghi chú

15 and 30 minute indicators show pump is getting overheated. 1 hour has a little room to run. Following with a tight trailing stop to take profit here.

Ghi chú

This could lose ground quite fast.

Ghi chú

Local target on the downside drop is 8.53 from 117.27 to 108.74 if the bulls do not show up here and support 117. On such a down swing, a test of the inner diamond tip red lines at 112 and 109.27 can be expected.

Another scenario is continue to chop sideways between the 117.5 and 122.5 range until there is decisive breakout in either direction, making shorting here risking. Likewise, going long is also risk because the bottom can easily fallout from under 117 support.

Ghi chú

Likely scenarios....

Giao dịch đang hoạt động

Going to make risky play and go long at 117.10 to play a back test of that trend line. Tight stop required because bottom can quickly fall out.

I suspect I 'll get stopped out.

Đóng lệnh: dừng lỗ

Stopped out at 7.5

Ghi chú

Didn't realize, but visible on the 1 minute, already back tested that trend line once.

Ghi chú

LTC has now consolidated into a larger diamond. Price still fell out the bottom and TPs from the original diamond remain unchanged. We could be seeing throwback or pullback, but breaking the tip still remains final confirmation.

Ghi chú

Looks like we have a falling wedge after that bounce pointing to 112. Note the price action is based on very low volume, result of asks being pulled on low volume buys -> snag.gy/t7mGpN.jpg

Ghi chú

Testing the tip. Nice size buy wall between it and 115.... Let's see how this turns out.

Ghi chú

LTC Tip broke, Bears chewing away at buy wall.

In the mean time, BTC has also fell out the bottom of its larger diamond and should be heading down to test its tip

Ghi chú

Looks like a back test. Will take some time to bleed down. Will be bounces on the way.

Ghi chú

LTC TP here should be over 120. But we have resistance tips at 188.83 and at 191.71. Expect a pullback.

Ghi chú

Perfect hit. Not sure how much pullback we will see, Bulls are buying aggressively. Rather lock in 2.25% profit instead of taking the risk. Would not be surprised to see this continue up though.

Ghi chú

Bulls broke through first resistance after 5 minutes of trying. Should hit 1 hour cloud resistance, then larger diamond resistance over the next dollar.

Putting in a lower limit order to catch a dump. Will buy back if we break trough the resistance.

Ghi chú

Bulls put up a very large buy wall (8K) on gdax starting 188.83. Don't think they plan on giving it up.

Hitting second TP now at 119.73

Ghi chú

LTC Dump right on target as expected. Expected it to be larger....

BTC also maybe putting in a rounded top short of 7k after breaking out if its bull flag.

Ghi chú

Looks LTC bulls and bears will battle over the 118.83 - 119.73 range here.

Ghi chú

GDAX buy wall being pulled. Bulls look prepared to give it up as BTC continues its pullback.

Ghi chú

Bears dumping into the buy wall. Keeps getting lowered and put back. Appears bulls will support it to an extent and imagine they will let it go if sell volume gets to high. Contemplating buying back in here with a tight stop.

Giao dịch đang hoạt động

Long 118.86, if nothing else maybe we chop sideways for a few $1 scalp.s

Potential Scalp: BTC and LTC has formed Descending Broadening wedge. Trade rule is to buy the 3rd touch and target Point (A) where the descent began with and 83% success rate. thepatternsite.com/dbw.html.

It would appear the 115.5-116.5 area might where this touch might occur.

Going to long a small position here because looking at the charts we may have had 3 touches going by candle bodies as opposed to wicks.

Đóng lệnh: đạt mục tiêu

Ghi chú

LTC has fell out of a local rising wedge, and is heading for the neckline of a local head and shoulders. TP on the HnS is 113.7 but previous support at 115 should hold. It is also possible that the neckline holds. Possible bounce areas highlighted.

Additional BTC has broke out of an inverse head and shoulders with a target price 7645. Past targets and resistance still in place.

Locking int a 2% profit here. LTC has formed a rising wedge and indicators say its time for a little bit of break. Will Target an MA to buy back in cheaper.

Good timing. Hitting that wedge line. Would like to see it fall out here to fell safer about going long though....

Giao dịch đang hoạt động

Hitting the 15 ema 26 at 191.51 right now which is a good bounce point. Ideally, a pullback to the black trend line. But would rather take the $2 increase instead of risking it. However, we can pull back further.

Ghi chú

Sill over cooked on the 30 and 1 hour TFs. Might play some more chop to pick some extra coin but that risks selling and having to buy back higher. Watching price action.

LTC has broke the diamond TP 126.91. On upward continuation, it should find resistance at 130.02 as it moves toward the 133.23 inverse head and shoulders target and on toward the major diamond target at 144.55

BTC has hit its local diamond TP at 7420.

BTC is now inside a rising wedge and if it continues up should move toward the inverse head and shoulders target price of 7645. On upward continuation it should move toward its diamond price at 8005.

Ghi chú

Larger falling wedge has formed, along with a ascending broadening wedge which indicates should eventually move back to at least 130.5. Unless the bulls or bears get aggressive here, this would be the expected price action.

Ghi chú

Bulls got aggressive. Normally ABW gets three touches.

Ghi chú

Larger Ascending Broadening wedge forming. If it pulls back it should touch the lower trend line a 3rd time and should move back to and break the point where it started at 131.35, and should move on to the inverse head and shoulders target of 133.2. Bulls however are being aggressive and bears have yet to unload. This is crypto though and anything can happen.

Ghi chú

Bulls kept going. Be on the look out for the following potential scenario: Inverse head and shoulders target hits, price pulls back and forms a diamond.
