Short-term short, Medium-term long
I'll be honest. The only reason I am writing about Litecoin is because I find it to be the least unattractive crypto on the market. First the view from 30,000 feet up and then lets get grounded in technical jargon.
Equity markets are dying for some incentivization for uptrend and if main US indices go under cryptos will probably not be a nice place to be for several reasons. First, its one of the most speculative asset classes out there beyond junk bonds. 10,000 feet down, price action is extremely volatile making by definition the risk of these assets to be extremely high. The beta is not your friend on this one. And if we want to look at the technicals, oscillators at the daily level are telling us it may be a time to sell.That's not to say that we will see a huge correction down to previous lows, but oftentimes pullbacks are healthy components of normally functioning price action and assets. I must say though that this particular chart reveals some scary looking candlesticks, in particular the huge long-tailed Doji that came up a few days ago if you look at the hourly or four hour chart (I forgot which to be honest, but its there so take a look). This signals massive indecision in price action. In sum, and I've said this before, I like Litecoin compared to other cryptos as it has been recently the best performer of all the majors. But again, I am not going to open a margin account and pour everything into here. That would be, well, a truly confident move in a market which saw a massive price movement to the downside to put it nicely. At any rate, good luck trading this as the shorter-term direction moves could be more lucrative for you.
