In the 1-day timeframe, Litecoin had strong bullish momentum as it raced past $100 on 30 June. Over the past week’s pullback, this momentum has become muted. To reflect this the RSI fell toward neutral 50 but continued to show upward momentum.

The OBV was in an uptrend, and alongside it, the CMF also showed capital flow into the market. Together the volume indicators showed that demand was still present behind Litecoin. Yet, the bearish order block it formed on 18 April was not defended as a support zone upon a retest.

The Fibonacci retracement levels (yellow) were plotted based on the swing move from $70.75 to $115. The 50% and 61.8% retracement levels at $92.88 and $87.65 were not yet tested as support. It remained likely that these levels could provide a bullish reaction from Litecoin.

Together with the price action in the 1-day timeframe, the bias remained bullish. The bears would be in the driving seat upon a drop in Litecoin prices below the $87.65 mark.

It was possible that the price action could be choppy but above $90 in the coming days. This would point toward a consolidation phase before the next major move.
