LTC Faces Momentum Exhaustion as Price Struggles Below $70
LTC has been cooling off after its blistering September rally, which saw the asset touch $75. The current price is at $66.89, down 2.78% on the day and below the 7-day SMA of $70.19.
The momentum behind LTC's rally has flatlined, with MACD momentum effectively zeroed out and an RSI reading of 64.58 indicating a return to neutral-to-bullish territory.
Despite the technical picture looking like a textbook momentum exhaustion setup, the fundamental catalysts that ignited September's move remain structurally meaningful.
The derivatives data is internally coherent but contradictory in its implications, with top traders sitting at a 3.26:1 long/short ratio and retail close behind at 2.56:1.
