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.

UK crypto holders brace for FCA’s expanded regulatory reach

The post UK crypto holders brace for FCA’s expanded regulatory reach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. British crypto holders may soon face a very different landscape as the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) moves to expand its regulatory reach in the industry. A new consultation paper outlines how the watchdog intends to apply its rulebook to crypto firms, shaping everything from asset safeguarding to trading platform operation. According to the financial regulator, these proposals would translate into clearer protections for retail investors and stricter oversight of crypto firms. UK FCA plans Until now, UK crypto users mostly encountered the FCA through rules on promotions and anti-money laundering checks. The consultation paper goes much further. It proposes direct oversight of stablecoin issuers, custodians, and crypto-asset trading platforms (CATPs). For investors, that means the wallets, exchanges, and coins they rely on could soon be subject to the same governance and resilience standards as traditional financial institutions. The regulator has also clarified that firms need official authorization before serving customers. This condition should, in theory, reduce the risk of sudden platform failures or unclear accountability. David Geale, the FCA’s executive director of payments and digital finance, said the proposals are designed to strike a balance between innovation and protection. He explained: “We want to develop a sustainable and competitive crypto sector – balancing innovation, market integrity and trust.” Geale noted that while the rules will not eliminate investment risks, they will create consistent standards, helping consumers understand what to expect from registered firms. Why does this matter for crypto holders? The UK regulatory framework shift would provide safer custody of assets, better disclosure of risks, and clearer recourse if something goes wrong. However, the regulator was also frank in its submission, arguing that no rulebook can eliminate the volatility or inherent risks of holding digital assets. Instead, the focus is on ensuring that when consumers choose to invest, they do…
