On Apr 10, the price reached a high of $5488. It continued to increase and on May 11 it reached a high of $7448.

Similarly, the RSI made the first high on Apr 10. However, it has continued to generate lower values since. This is known as bearish divergence and often precedes price decreases.

Furthermore, the daily candle is shaping up to be a shooting star, which is a bearish reversal sign. This potential reversal sign has occurred inside the resistance area near $7400.

The use of these indicators confirms the possibility of price losses leading to the support area at around $6450. However, we cannot rule out the possibility that the price initiates an impulsive upward move first.

At the current time, we do not see any profitable trade setups for BTC. Our previous short trade setup was unsuccessful and the stop loss of only 2.5% was triggered.

Now, let’s take a look at LTC/USD:

Litecoin Breakout

The price of Litecoin reached lows of around $77.2 on May 3. A gradual increase ensued and the price reached highs of $86.6 the next day. It has been decreasing since, trading inside a descending wedge.

The price broke out from the wedge on May 10:

After the breakout, the price reached highs of $94.5 on May 12. It has been decreasing since.

In order to figure out the future movement of the price, we will analyze the price of LTC at one-hour intervals alongside the MACD and the RSI in the graph below:

On May 11, the price reached a high of $92.3. It reached a similar high the next day.

Similarly, the RSI and the MACD reached highs on May 11. However, they have proceeded to generate lower values since.

This is known as bearish divergence and often precedes price decreases.

The use of these indicators makes it likely that the price will decrease towards the support area at $79.5.

Due to the current price position of the price and the lack of a trading pattern, we do not see any valid trading setups.

Our previous long trade setup was successful. The price not only reached our target of 8%, but kept increasing further.

Finally, let’s take a look at BCH/USD:

An Ascending Channel For Bitcoin Cash

In the case of BCH, the daily long-term pattern can be used to predict future movement. Therefore, we have outlined the daily price of BCH/USD from Dec 2018 to May 2019 alongside the RSI and the MACD below:

On Apr 3, the price reached a high of $354.27. It continued to increase and reached a similar high on May 11. .

Similarly, the RSI and the MACD made a high on Apr 3. However, they have continued to generate lower values since.

This is known as bearish divergence and often precedes price decreases.

The use of these indicators suggests that the price will decrease towards the support line of the channel.

Due to the fact that the price is trading very close to the resistance line of the channel, we will analyze a possible short trade setup below:

Short Trade Setup

We will examine a possible short trade setup with an average entry of $360.

The stop-loss order is placed at $401, slightly above the May 11 high. The value of $401 is also chosen since we believe that $400 can offer psychological resistance. This is a stop loss of roughly 12%.

Our target would be $190, slightly above the support line of the channel.

Combined with the stop loss mentioned above, this is a risk to reward ratio of 4:1.

A breakdown is not needed to reach the target. Rather, only a decrease within the channel is required. Based on our analysis of technical indicators, this is likely.

Conclusion

To conclude, Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash are both following ascending support lines. Bitcoin recently broke out of its trading pattern and is not currently following a trading structure, though a new trading pattern may be forming.

Furthermore, both Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash have developed bearish divergence in long timeframes while Litecoin has only done so in shorter timeframes.

To conclude, we believe that Litecoin faces the best prospects for the near future, due to the fact that it has not generated any long-term bearish divergence. However, Bitcoin Cash has the most profitable trade setup in place, with a risk to reward ratio of 4:1.

A summary is presented in the table below:

Do you think the price of Litecoin will be able to reach the support area? Will BTC begin to decrease? Where will the price of BCH go? Let us know in the comments below.
