Litecoin (LTC) has been experiencing a significant decrease in volatility, with a crypto analyst highlighting an unusual tightening in its bi-monthly (2M) Bollinger Bands (BB). According to an analyst, Litecoin’s current technical setup points to strong potential for a parabolic breakout, with the $130 price mark emerging as a critical resistance zone.
Narrow Bollinger Bands To Trigger Litecoin Breakout
Prominent crypto analyst Tony Severino shared a price chart on X (formerly Twitter) showing Litecoin’s price action on a bi-monthly time frame, applying Bollinger Bands as a technical indicator to measure a cryptocurrency’s price volatility. The Bollinger Bands examine market volatility by plotting an upper and lower band around a Moving Average (MA), which acts as a basis line.
In Litecoin’s case, Severino has indicated that the cryptocurrency’s 2M Bollinger Band width is extremely narrow, underscoring a lack of or significantly decreased volatility. Historically, Bollinger Bands are known to expand during periods of high volatility and tighten at low volatility.
Severino’s Litecoin chart displays the upper Bollinger Band marked by the red line, the basis line by a blue line, and the lower band highlighted in the green area. The analyst disclosed that Litecoin’s candlesticks are currently positioned above the basis line at $83.3, indicating potential for bullish momentum.
If the price of Litecoin continues upwards and crosses the upper Bollinger band at approximately $130, Severino predicts that it could trigger heightened volatility and an explosive price breakout. Based on historical trends, an extremely narrow Bollinger Band often indicates a potential for a bullish trend reversal after a period of consolidation.
Severino’s analysis has pinpointed the upper BB at $130 as a crucial resistance area for Litecoin. A sustained break above this level on a high timeframe could pave the way for more gains, potentially pushing Litecoin significantly above its current market value of around $111.5.
According to CoinMarketCap, Litecoin has recorded modest gains, increasing by 6.14% in the past 24 hours. Over the past week, the prominent cryptocurrency has also experienced a higher increase of about 11.7% to its current level. To reach the critical resistance area at $130, Litecoin is required to rise by approximately 18% from its market price.
Litecoin Rally Predicted, Targets 38% Upside
According to crypto analyst Mike on X, Litecoin is preparing for a significant breakout to a new price high. He forecasts that the cryptocurrency will record a 38% price rally from the breakout point at $106 to reach a fresh bullish target of $146.67.
Looking at the analyst’s price chart, Litecoin appears to have broken the $102 resistance level and is approaching its next significant resistance at $122.77. The chart also highlights horizontal lines indicating critical resistance areas for Litecoin.
Mike has pinpointed a key support zone at $99.91 that could act as a safety net for Litecoin during a downtrend. Should Litecoin face a significant price drop below this support, the analyst points to the $86.97 and $74.43 price levels as the next potential support areas.
