Litecoin Atomic Swaps Near Release as Price Consolidates

Litecoin is making progress with its atomic swap integration, as the decentralized exchange BasicSwap confirms the feature now operates fully on the mainnet within the latest Nexus wallet build. Only minor adjustments are needed before the public release.

On the technical front, Litecoin is trading at $69.17, just below the $69.21 resistance level marked by the 50-period exponential moving average (EMA50). The MACD indicator shows a death cross, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains neutral at 45.49.

The cryptocurrency is currently trapped within the Bollinger Bands, with immediate resistance at $71.72 and short-term support at $68.7. This setup suggests continued consolidation until a clear breakout occurs.
