MACD indicator went under a bullish crossover on 6th October, however, it looked inclined for a bearish cross over as soon as the price breaches the descending triangle. The altcoin did not have any immediate support which meant a breach from the descending triangle can slump its prices to the next support level of $42.40.
Conclusion
Litecoin’s price looked to slump further on the daily price chart as it formed a bearish descending triangle pattern, the ema-ribbon was acting as a resistant which is another bearish sign while MACD indicator also looked set for a bearish crossover in the next couple of days.
