Litecoin Holds Firm On Major Trendline

Litecoin is right on top of its multi-year trend line within the symmetrical triangle pattern. Historically, this area between $72 and $75 has created very strong buying enthusiasm in past cycles. It is also a spot that buyers strongly defend. Volume is contained during the downtrend, and this is commonly known to be an accumulation phase before a breakout.

Crypto analyst @butterfly_chart highlighted that if Litecoin rebounds from this support, the first upside targets lie at $88-$90.  Middle ranges for resistance are pegged at around $104 and $110 within the triangle. In the event that it breaks out above the descending trendline, it may mark the start of a wider rally. The total potential rally may go to $180, and for the long-term target, it would be between $200 and $250.

The breakdown scenario also needs to be watched. In the event of a close below $70 on a weekly chart, it will weaken the entire multi-year structure and confirm the loss of trendline support. In this case, Litecoin may decline to levels of $66 initially and further until levels of $54-$58. Until then, the entire market structure remains conducive to a possible upside.

Momentum Indicators Highlight Bearish Strength

The RSI is currently at 38.05, which is below its moving average at 49.04, showing obvious signs of downward movement. Lowering this far towards the lower band indicates less purchasing strength and rising selling pressure. The development of lower highs in this situation further supports less purchasing strength and rising selling pressure.

Now, the MACD line at -4.04081 is marginally above the signal line at -4.05323, and the histogram shows that the MACD is at -0.01242, which is negative. The red bars confirm that the downward forces are strengthening as the sell side dominates the markets.

Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps

The post Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Federal Reserve has made its first Fed rate cut this year following today’s FOMC meeting, lowering interest rates by 25 basis points (bps). This comes in line with expectations, while the crypto market awaits Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech for guidance on the committee’s stance moving forward. FOMC Makes First Fed Rate Cut This Year With 25 Bps Cut In a press release, the committee announced that it has decided to lower the target range for the federal funds rate by 25 bps from between 4.25% and 4.5% to 4% and 4.25%. This comes in line with expectations as market participants were pricing in a 25 bps cut, as against a 50 bps cut. This marks the first Fed rate cut this year, with the last cut before this coming last year in December. Notably, the Fed also made the first cut last year in September, although it was a 50 bps cut back then. All Fed officials voted in favor of a 25 bps cut except Stephen Miran, who dissented in favor of a 50 bps cut. This rate cut decision comes amid concerns that the labor market may be softening, with recent U.S. jobs data pointing to a weak labor market. The committee noted in the release that job gains have slowed, and that the unemployment rate has edged up but remains low. They added that inflation has moved up and remains somewhat elevated. Fed Chair Jerome Powell had also already signaled at the Jackson Hole Conference that they were likely to lower interest rates with the downside risk in the labor market rising. The committee reiterated this in the release that downside risks to employment have risen. Before the Fed rate cut decision, experts weighed in on whether the FOMC should make a 25 bps cut or…
