Litecoin / USD Short-term price analysis
Litecoin is bullish over the short-term, with buyers still firmly in control of the popular cryptocurrency. Price is also trading close to the best levels of the year, with strong dip-buying demand still seen in the LTC / USD pair.
The four-hour time frame is showing a large ascending triangle pattern, with price currently testing trendline resistance from the pattern. Traders should note that ascending triangle patterns are typically bullish patterns and sometimes signal a reversal at the end of a bearish downtrend.
The mentioned time frame is also showing that the October 15th swing-high, around the $66.00 level, currently offers the strongest form of technical resistance above.

Litecoin / USD Medium-term price analysis
Litecoin remains bullish over the medium-term, with the cryptocurrency growing increasingly confident above its trend defining 200-day moving average.
The daily time frame shows that the LTC / USD pair has been steadily rising, following its bullish breakout from a descending price channel last month. The mentioned time frame also shows that the $69.00 level currently offers the strongest form of near-term resistance above the pair’s current 2019 trading high.
If the LTC / USD pair does advance towards the $69.00 level, traders should note that a larger inverted head and shoulders pattern will then form on the daily time frame.
