The inability of the buyers to defend these demand zones signaled bears were dominant. Over the coming week, it was likely that further losses could ensue for Litecoin. Where can traders look to enter positions?

Litecoin showed an imbalance at $70 that could be retested before rejection

A set of Fibonacci retracement levels (pale yellow) were plotted based on the rally from $70.75 to $115. LTC was already beneath the lows from that rally. The market structure was bearish on the daily timeframe.

Moreover, there was a fair value gap around the $70 area highlighted in white. LTC witnessed a downward move that began on 8 August. It went from $85.47 to $56, and the 50% mark for this move stood at $70.74. This coincided with the low from 14 June that made the bearish breaker block from mid-June.

Hence, a bounce toward the $70.75 level was a possibility in the coming days. It would partially fill the imbalance and also retest the 50% level of the previous drop. The OBV did not support the idea of such a bounce as it has been in a firm downtrend since July.

The RSI was also below neutral 50 since July, showing a downtrend in progress on the 1-day chart. Hence, a shorting opportunity could present itself near the $70 mark but hasn’t materialized yet.

The metrics showed LTC was undervalued and saw an accumulation
