ETH/USD Price Analysis
With a market cap of $9.25 billion, ETH is the third most valuable coin in the space. But it could reclaim its spot if prices surge above $100 and later $160. From candlestick arrangement, prospects of ETH/USD expanding above $100 is a tall order and largely depends on the resuscitation of BTC prices.
As it is, ETH is in range mode oscillating within a $17 range with limits at $100 and $83—Dec 7 lows. As mentioned in previous analysis, bears are in control but for trend shift and invalidation of the bear breakout pattern than saw ETH sink below $100 on Dec 6, then buyers must gain momentum and rally above $100.
This shall jolt buyers into action buying on dips with stops at $90 and first targets at $130 and later $160—the main resistance previous support line.
Our ETH/USD Trade plan is as follows:
Buy: $100
Stop: $90
Targets: $130, $160

LTC/USD Price Analysis
On a weekly basis, LTC/USD is down 18 percent but quite stable in lower time frames. Despite hints of higher highs and absorption of sell pressure without price swings, bears are technically in charge and could get worse if prices sink below our minor support at $20 or Dec 7 lows.
From simple candlestick arrangement, we shall recommend patience until after there are convincing breaks above the $5 range marked by Dec 8 highs at $25 and floors at $20. Before then, sellers have a real chance of driving prices lower in a trend continuation move that could see LTC print $2 by end year.
Of course, that is undesirable but the only time buyers would be in control is when there are solid moves above $25. That could thrust prices towards $40 and later $50 re-invigorating the market in the process.
This is our LTC/USD Trade Plan assuming bulls take charge:
Buy: $25
Stop: $20
Targets: $40, $50
