Key Takeaways
Litecoin has reached a decisive technical juncture following a prolonged WXYXZ corrective structure since December.
The 4-hour and 1-hour charts show signs of a potential trend reversal, supported by Fibonacci levels, Elliott Wave symmetry, and bullish RSI divergences.
The market now awaits confirmation of a breakout to validate the emerging wave count and bullish reversal scenario.
The 4-hour chart presents a complete WXYXZ corrective structure following Litecoin’s five-wave impulse that peaked near $146 on Dec. 5.
After an extended multi-month correction, temporary support was found at $82, just slightly below the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level.
This level held through most of the correction, being interacted with thrice.
This complex correction culminated with wave Z appearing to complete a final C wave, which may mark the end of the broader retracement phase.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has shown a notable bullish divergence since March 31, forming higher lows while price made new local lows.
This is often a reliable sign of bearish exhaustion and a forthcoming shift in trend direction.
Additionally, the descending trendline drawn from the February highs remains a critical barrier, aligning closely with the 0.618 Fibonacci level at $86.86.
A break above this confluence would likely validate the assumption that wave Z has ended and Litecoin is beginning a new five-wave impulsive advance.
Should bullish momentum sustain, the next significant resistance lies at the 0.5 Fib retracement around $98.15.
Zooming into the 1-hour chart, we see a completed five-wave bearish impulse into the end of wave Z, followed by a sharp reaction that could signify the first wave (i) of a new bullish sequence.
The price then pulled back into what appears to be wave (ii), potentially forming a higher low at $81. This setup suggests that wave (iii) is now underway or imminent.
The RSI also supports this outlook, forming a bullish divergence on March 31 — another key reversal signal.
The market has since rebounded and is attempting to reclaim the descending trendline after forming a near double-bottom.
If wave (iii) confirms, we anticipate acceleration above the 0.618 Fibonacci level at $86.86, which would also validate the breakout.
Wave (iii) ‘s extension targets lie at $92.00 (1.272 Fib) and $98.15 (1.618 Fib), with wave (iv) likely retracing modestly before wave (v) completes the sequence around $100.
In the bearish alternate, failure to hold $81 support and a break below $78 would suggest that wave Z is incomplete and that further downside toward $70.79 (0.786 Fib) is possible.
