LTC/USD: Litecoin Trading Within Rising Wedge
The daily analysis above shows Litecoin slowly grinding higher in an ascending wedge formation since finding support at the $30 level after the recent market collapse. The cryptocurrency had dipped lower but managed to find support at $24.85 before quickly rising back above $30.

LTC-USD Short Term Price Prediction
If the buyers climb above $40, resistance lies at $42. This is followed by resistance at the upper boundary of the wedge. Above this, resistance is located at $44, $47.50 (bearish .382 Fib Retracement) and $50.
On the other side, if the sellers break $39, support lies at the lower boundary of the wedge. Beneath the wedge, support lies at $35, $32.50, and $30.
The RSI returned to the 50 level but is struggling to break above, which shows the bulls are still not in control over the market momentum. Additionally, the Stochastic RSI has produced a bearish crossover signal that might push LTC beneath the wedge.

LTC/BTC: Short Term Price Prediction
If the bulls can push above 0.0060 BBTC, resistance lies at 0.0062 BTC and 0.00634 BTC (bearish .236 Fib Retracement). This is followed by resistance at 0.0066 BTC (100-days EMA) and 0.00688 BTC.
