The fifteen-minute timeframe for LTCUSD does not paint an encouraging picture for its investors. The day’s range is $45.24 — $46.17, and the traded volume is just above 20k.
However, the candlesticks formed by Litecoin indicate that the crypto is currently very less liquid. On top of that, the large candlesticks formed by LTCUSD suggest that it is quite bearish. The green candles are tiny in comparison.
The MACD is significantly bearish. The 20-period Moving Average is giving a ‘sell’ signal for Litecoin in the short term. Most of the oscillators are neutral on Litecoin.
In the absence of any significant bullish momentum, Litecoin would be under increased selling pressure, leading to a further decline in the short term.
