LTC Nearing Decision Time for 15-25% Swing

836
Following yesterday's 10% swing LTCUSD has formed a larger diamond as predicted. If you followed yesterdays idea you caught a 10% swing and now a setup for larger 15-25% swing looks to be forming.

Inside of the diamond are mixed chart signals including a potential descending triangle forming and a potential inverse head and shoulders.

As price action nears the APEX of the diamond, watch for a breakout of the Diamond and confirmation of either a bottom or a half-staff continuation.

Price targets on chart for breakout in either direction.

Breaking up out of the descending triangle before it forms would be a preliminary bullish indicator. A move to the upper trend line would further support the bullish scenario.

Moving down to the bottom trend line of the potential descending triangle would confirm the pattern and support a bearish scenario.

Uwaga
The downward resistance trend line the descending triangle has broke, giving more support to a potential bullish scenario.

Historically speaking, LTC pivots on 5 with 2.50 and 7.50 being battlegrounds. If bulls can't take 122.5, I would expect a pullback below 120.

Battling for the critical 2.50 pivot now.

Bears rejected 2.50 . Not liking the potential gravestone on the 30. Really a horrible candle by itself. However, next candle could confirm trend reversal.

Uwaga
This could lose ground quite fast.

snapshot
Uwaga
Local target on the downside drop is 8.53 from 117.27 to 108.74 if the bulls do not show up here and support 117. On such a down swing, a test of the inner diamond tip red lines at 112 and 109.27 can be expected.

Another scenario is continue to chop sideways between the 117.5 and 122.5 range until there is decisive breakout in either direction, making shorting here risking. Likewise, going long is also risk because the bottom can easily fallout from under 117 support.
Uwaga
Likely scenarios....

snapshot
Zlecenie aktywne
Going to make risky play and go long at 117.10 to play a back test of that trend line. Tight stop required because bottom can quickly fall out.

I suspect I 'll get stopped out.

Didn't realize, but visible on the 1 minute, already back tested that trend line once.

snapshot
Uwaga
LTC has now consolidated into a larger diamond. Price still fell out the bottom and TPs from the original diamond remain unchanged. We could be seeing throwback or pullback, but breaking the tip still remains final confirmation.

snapshot
Uwaga
Looks like we have a falling wedge after that bounce pointing to 112. Note the price action is based on very low volume, result of asks being pulled on low volume buys -> snag.gy/t7mGpN.jpg
