Ethereum And Litecoin Prices Are Closing In On Golden Cross

Ethereum and Litecoin prices are getting in on the golden cross and there’s an uptrend in crypto markets over the last few weeks which was led by bigger cap altcoins so in our Litecoin price news today, we take a closer look at the price movement.

Ethereum and Litecoin are up 85% and 75% respectively since the start of the year. Nonetheless, a lot of the rise can be attributed to the uptrend in Bitcoin and this is where the gains are comparatively lower. These two altcoins are now closing in on the golden cross between the 50 and 200-period EMA or the exponential moving average on a daily scale but the confluence before the golden cross often leads to the fake-out just close to the contact point. TraderSZ commented about the swing trade ideas and leading derivatives as well:

‘’Watching 205 for support. Will see how price behaves there if we get there to load more into ethusd. would be okay with pullback to 195 at most. Clean smash below last month high then im gna have to step back from longs, lowers my probability of idea #ethusd.’’

The 50-period moving average at 4-hour charts at $210 will serve as an important area of support in case of further downfall. Another prominent crypto trader TraderXO suggested that the local highs will drive Ethereum back to levels 0.019 to 0.020 BTC levels of monthly open. The higher prospects of higher rises in the altcoins distribute some of the bigger gains and investment from the largest cryptocurrency. The gains are larger and the fall is disastrous as well and the continuation of the bulls in Bitcoin could even see the price of Bitcoin for a while.

Similarly, on Litecoin charts we can see the 50 and 200-EMA are reaching across and the trend in Litecoin is currently bullish with the break above the head and shoulders pattern on the lower time-frames keeping the $92 price level still in play. The correction is back to retest the $60 levels is probable if the correction in the crypto markets starts. The uptrend in price with respect to the major cryptocurrency will seek support above the 0.006 BTC area for the bullish invalidation.
