LTC Intraday Analysis: January 24, 2026 Short-Term Strategy

Today's short-term outlook and key levels to monitor: LTC is stabilizing around 68.82$, with 69.66$ resistance playing a pivotal role. Triggers for rapid momentum are set.

Short-Term Market Outlook

LTC is trading at the 68.82$ level as of January 24, 2026, 13:38 UTC. It closed the day up %1.10 in the last 24 hours, with today's range squeezed between 66.98$ - 69.20$. Volume is at a moderate 150.83M$, but momentum is sending mixed signals. RSI at 47.09 is in neutral territory, showing no overbought or oversold signals. The MACD histogram is positive and expanding in a bullish direction, indicating short-term buying pressure. Supertrend is still giving a bearish signal and highlighting the 72.16$ resistance line. Price is holding above EMA20 (68.78$), maintaining the short-term bullish bias, but the overall trend is downward. 14 strong levels detected across 1D/3D/1W timeframes: 2 supports/2 resistances on 1D, resistance-heavy with 3 on 3D, balanced (3S/4R) on 1W. For the next 24-48 hours, focus on the squeeze between 68.20$ support and 69.66$ resistance. The breakout direction will determine momentum. News flow is calm, no major catalysts, so technical levels take center stage.

Intraday Critical Levels

Nearby Support Zones

Closest support at 68.1957$ (score: 75/100), just %0.9 below today's lows and a quick invalidation point. If this level breaks, the next one at 60.3277$ (score: 61/100) comes into play, but a close below 68.20$ intraday would trigger bears. Deeper 57.5857$ (61/100) is watched by swing traders, but 24-hour focus is on 68.20$. For scalping, the 68.00-68.20$ zone offers squeeze opportunities, with stop-losses placed below 67.90$.

Nearby Resistance Zones

Most critical resistance at 69.6556$ (score: 81/100), %1.2 above today's highs and will test momentum above EMA20. Breakout opens 77.5118$ (65/100), but short-term target is 73.9500$. For intraday scalps, monitor resistance tests between 69.20-69.66$; failure risks quick pullback. Supertrend adds an extra resistance layer at 72.16$.

Momentum and Speed Analysis

Short-term momentum is bullish via MACD's positive histogram, but RSI is neutral and volume increase is limited. For speed analysis, look for upward momentum on 15m/1H charts: Stability above 68.82$ accelerates bullish speed. Bearish speed picks up on 68.20$ break, aligned with Supertrend bearish signal. Within the overall downtrend, this carries "dead cat bounce" risk. Momentum score for 24-48 hour window: Bull %45, Bear %55. Quick invalidation: 30m close above 69.66$ confirms bullish speed, below 68.20$ triggers bearish speed. Risk management is critical: Limit position size to %1-2 of capital, volatility is high.
