LTCETH trade ideas
LTC ShortA week ago, we examined the LTC chart and the downward falling wedge pattern we observed (medium.com). As of last night, LTC has broken through that $75 level and is trading a few dollars south of $75 this morning. All we see is ‘air’ down to $60, meaning that if a selloff precipitates throughout the crypto space, we do not see much support until the $60 level.
Another chart that had caught our eye we wrote about on March 26th, the LTC/ETH Trading Pair (medium.com). We happened to put this “Mean Reversion” trading piece out right before the April 1st crypto rally, which caused the trading pair to appear as though it was making a massive break-out. As prices have settled down and consolidated over the last month, we see this trading pair has made a retracement right back to the ~0.438 level of late March. We believe this confirms our thesis, along with the price action seen in December, that the trading pair will not be sustainable north of 0.500.
LTC/ETH trading pairSince the beginning of February, we have been watching the outperformance of LTC versus the remainder of the top cryptocurrencies. We have been eyeing some spreads and think this recent rally of LTC presents an opportunity to employ a mean reversion trading strategy. This kind of strategy involves making a bet that prices will return back to the historical average price level. From the chart below, we can see how the recent rally in LTC started around February 7th, as the relative return on investment in percentage terms pulls away from the other top 5 coins. The laggard in this chart is Ripple. BTC and ETH remain close to unchanged.

A chart that really intrigues us is the LTC/ETH trading pair. This spread is currently trading ~0.437. In December 2017, this spread rallied from 0.20 to 0.50 in the matter of two weeks, only to slam right back off. This trading pair remained within a channel between 0.15 and 0.325 for the full year of 2018.
The 200-day exponential moving average is currently ~0.30 and the 50-day exponential moving average is ~0.38. It appears there is some resistance at current trading levels around 0.45, similar to what was seen in December of 2017. The LTC/ETH chart appears it may “turnover” as the purple curves depict in the chart. If this indeed occurs, you may see this trading pair price 'mean revert' back into this historical channel.
Rare analysis on LTC/ETH pairing; 1day C&H + Golden Cross We can see here on the 1 day chart of the ltc/eth pairing that we have a golden cross and an obvious cup and handle set up. Probability favors a bullish break upward above the rimline but you want to wait for 2 consecutive 1 day candles above the rimline to confirm the break because a fakeout is always a possibility even with a golden cross...if we break upward I have posted the expected price target here in the green box. The question is if the breakout does occur will LTC make its gains on ETH by ltc going up or eth going down
