Litecoin presents an interesting setup

After finding its low at $40.32 in June 2022, Litecoin rose over 160% within the span of a half-year. However, since the February 2023 high at $105.69, Litecoin’s price trend has been erratic. Litecoin has been oscillating between the two converging bounds, forming an interesting setup that caught our attention. For now, we would like to stay out of the market and observe the situation. Ideally, we would like to wait for the price to approach one of the boundaries of the formation and then assess the opportunity.

Litecoin rose by more than 18% within the past 24 hours and broke above the upper bound of the formation. If Litecoin manages to hold above the upper bound for two consecutive days, it will be positive. However, a failure to hold this level will be negative. The current setup offers two options. The first is going long above the bound and placing stop-loss slightly below it. The second involves going short once the price falls below the upper bound and placing a stop-loss above it.

With Bitcoin retracing much of its gains after the breakout, the bearish setup remains valid.
