Similarly, analyst Joel CoachK has emphasized the bullish stance on Litecoin. The analyst notes that Litecoin has a high timeframe Hidden Bullish Divergence, similar to that of Bitcoin at the moment. This occurs during a correction in an uptrend when the oscillator (indicators used to analyze securities that are not trending but trading in a range) sets a new higher high but the price doesn’t since its consolidating. 

Further, he notes that the daily Relative Strength Index (RSI), used to chart the current and historical strength or weakness of an asset based on its closing price, is showing a buy signal which coincides with the four-hour chart. Moreover, the low timeframes have taken a turn for the better, with an increase in buy volume over the last few hours.
