Litecoin eyes $100 after 'rare' LTC price breakout
SHARE


Litecoin (LTC) could rise another 20% amid a rare trend reversal breakout that has already resulted in LTC outperforming most crypto assets in recent days.LTC’s not-so-bearish symmetrical triangleLTC’s price broke out of what earlier appeared to be a bearish symmetrical triangle.Symmetrical triangles are trend continuation patterns, meaning breaking out of their range typically prompts the price to move in the direction of their previous trend. Litecoin formed a symmetrical triangle pattern between May and November after dropping 70% to nearly $40 in the prior trading sessions. Ideally, the LTC/USD pair could have resolved the pattern by breaking below its lower trendline.But instead, it broke above the upper trendline in early November, as shown below. According to Robert D. Edwards and John Magee, the authors of Technical Analysis of Stock Trends, the breakout move is rare, given only 25% of symmetrical triangle breakouts have historically resulted in trend reversals.LTC/USD three-day price chart. Source: TradingViewLitecoin followed up with its symmetrical triangle reversal move decisively and now eyes a run-up toward $100, or another 20% by December 2022. This upside target is measured after calculating the distance between the triangle’s upper and lower trendline and adding the output to the breakout point (around $58 in Litecoin’s case).Why is Litecoin price up?Litecoin’s symmetrical triangle breakout move started in late October. It coincided with MoneyGram’s announcement that it would enable users to purchase, store and use LTC alongside Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) for payments.LTC/USD three-day price chart.

But Litecoin resumed its upward trend amid speculations about its reward halving in the summer of 2023.Related: Litecoin hits fresh 2022 high versus Bitcoin — But will LTC price ‘halve’ before the halving?”Litecoin tends to rally in the months leading up to the halving,” noted market analyst The Digital Trend in a SeekingAlpha op-ed, adding:”Then, the price tends to stabilize before entering a lengthier and more substantial bull market. Then, around halfway through the cycle, Litecoin enters a bearish/distribution phase like Bitcoin.”LTC/USD price performance before and after halving.
