Descending Wedge Structure Signals Potential Turning Point
Litecoin’s 4-hour chart shows a clear descending wedge pattern, formed by a steeper downward resistance trendline and a gradually declining support line. Price has been compressing within this structure since late November, indicating weakening bearish momentum. The recent candles show buyers stepping in from the lower boundary, suggesting accumulation pressure building near the support zone.
Currently, the LTC approaches the resistance line of the formation at the $77-$79 level. A breakout beyond the declining resistance line will be highly supportive of a trend reversal. A possible upside trend movement to $96-$98 levels has also been indicated by the projection box in the graph, which corresponds to an approximate upmove of 25% from the breakout level.
On the flip side, in the event of rejection within the resistance trend-line, the price may test the lower part of the wedge support level at $71-$72. A breach of the same might make Litecoin vulnerable to weakness in the downside towards $69. However, as long as the price holds within the boundaries of the wedge, along with higher reaction lows, the trade is likely to favor a breakout setup.
