The cryptocurrency market has recently entered a phase of consolidation, defying the expectations of investors and traders who anticipated heightened activity following the inauguration of Donald Trump, a figure known for his favorable stance on cryptocurrencies.

Will this consolidation persist, or are we on the cusp of more volatile market movements? At BITmarkets, we’ve delved into this question to provide you with a clearer outlook on a promising altcoin: Litecoin.

Daily time frame analysis

LTCUSD - 1 Day Time Frame

Before the recent consolidation, the cryptocurrency market experienced a period of impulsive bullish movements. These trends were anticipated in our previous analyses at BITmarkets, which remain available in our archives for reference.

Given the high correlation among many cryptocurrencies, similar scenarios are applicable to several other digital assets.

The importance of these bullish movements lies in their establishment of several critical support zones. These zones play a pivotal role as they now act as benchmarks for the continuation of the upward trend.

They are instrumental in determining not only the potential longevity of the bullish trend but also in signaling possible shifts toward a bearish correction.

Litecoin price target

As depicted in the attached chart, a clearly defined orange support zone has emerged as a crucial indicator. If the price dips below the current consolidation zone but the candlestick body remains above the lower boundary of this orange zone on a daily timeframe, the bullish trend is still considered valid.

Conversely, a daily close below the lower boundary of this support zone could indicate the potential for a deeper decline. This movement could reflect a tap into lower Sell-Side Liquidity or point toward a broader bearish correction.

At BITmarkets, we continue to closely monitor these developments and will provide timely updates as the situation unfolds. By staying vigilant and informed, traders can better navigate these critical market dynamics and manage their portfolios effectively.
