In our latest technical update for 2026, we dive deep into Litecoin (LTC). Following our previous forecast on December 9th, 2025, the market has shown remarkable resilience. While the price was initially "snagged" by a sell pocket, it has since bounced perfectly off our identified Buy Pocket, confirming that the bullish foundation is intact.

The most critical development in the current LTC chart is that the "weakness" previously seen on the 2-day price bar is no longer valid. On the daily timeframe, the price action is lifting away from the accumulation zone. We have strategically extended our stop loss to $69.85 to account for market volatility while maintaining a high-conviction bullish stance.

The New Sell Pocket & Strategic Levels

As we anticipate higher prices, a new "Sell Pocket" has formed that traders should watch closely. However, with multi-day charts (3-day, 5-day, and Weekly) looking increasingly bullish, we expect this resistance to be temporary.

Level Type Price Zone Action/Strategy
Buy Pocket (Foundation) $74 - $80 Strong Support / Accumulation
New Sell Pocket $115 - $125 Monitor for breakout
Stop Loss (Revised) $69.85 Risk Management Level

FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why did you extend the stop loss?
A: To provide the market with "breathing room" during the current consolidation phase, ensuring we aren't shaken out before the expected move higher.

Q: Is the bullish trend confirmed?
A: The invalidation of the 2-day weakness is a very strong signal, but we want to see the market move away from the foundation quickly to remain 100% positive.
