LTC Nearing Decision Time for 15-25% Swing لـ COINBASE:LTCUSD بواسطة alexhiggins732

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.

ملاحظة

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.

ملاحظة

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.

ملاحظة

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

ملاحظة

Battling for the critical 2.50 pivot now.

ملاحظة

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.

ملاحظة

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

ملاحظة

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

ملاحظة

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

ملاحظة

Bulls pushing toward 2.50 again...

ملاحظة

Re-entered at 119.44

أغلقت الصفقة: تم الوصول لوقف الخسارة

ملاحظة

This could lose ground quite fast.

ملاحظة

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.

ملاحظة

Likely scenarios....

تم فتح الصفقة

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.

أغلقت الصفقة: تم الوصول لوقف الخسارة

Stopped out at 7.5

ملاحظة

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

ملاحظة

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.

ملاحظة

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

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

ملاحظة

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

ملاحظة

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.

ملاحظة

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.

ملاحظة

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

ملاحظة

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.

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

ملاحظة

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.

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.

ملاحظة

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.

ملاحظة

Bulls got aggressive. Normally ABW gets three touches.

ملاحظة

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.

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.
