Litecoin's 48-day stalemate could be a blessing in disguise
Litecoin has been trading sideways for approximately 48 days, frustrating investors and traders who were hoping for more gains following Trump's return to the White House.
Instead, the price has remained range-bound. However, I see this as a potential blessing in disguise. The price action is currently forming a large ascending triangle, offering two potential trading strategies.
My preferred strategy is to trade the breakout at $139.36, targeting a 36% move to around $190 per coin. While this may seem modest, the risk-to-reward ratio could be highly favorable, depending on the breakout timing and stop-loss placement. For example, with a 4% stop loss below the breakout point, the reward ratio could reach 8.31.
An alternative strategy is to buy near the trendline, currently around $92 per coin. This approach suits those with strong conviction in Litecoin and the willingness to remain bullish as long as the price stays above $85. This method offers a higher risk-to-reward ratio of 14. However, the downside is that the price could remain stuck in sideways action for many months, with a significant risk of the price trading below 85.
