LTCUSD trying to close above the EMA12

1644
A close above $155 (13/02/18) is a bullish sign as this would mean that we have closed above the EMA12 for two days in a row. This happened a few days ago however the price was pushed back down but not below $142, forming a double bottom. I believe that this signalled the reversal of the trend. This is further validated if BTC closes the day above 8700 (EMA12 for BTC)

If the price closes above $155

TARGET 1 - $221 (38.2 retracement of bearish trend
Stoploss - $139 (break of the double bottom)

If the price closes below $155, remain neutral.
Trade active
Closed above EMA12, bitcoin didn't. trade opened but remain cautious. Volume is low but I see us retesting $175 at least.
Note
Watching for a volume increase. If not, dump at $175
Note
Seems to be heating up. Near term hurdles are 167 (EMA26) and 175 (resistance). I expect consolidation around these points
Note
Volume is increasing a fair bit.. We will see what happens at $175 if we get there. LTCBTC appears to have broken out as well..
Note
Next step is to close above the EMA26 for more than 3 days. This will confirm a reversal of the downtrend and new ATHs to come
Note
Next areas of interest are $195 and $215
Note
snapshot

Target is $205 before a pullback. After this the price may head down to retest the EMA26 at 167, if it were to close below this on the daily the trade is invalid and I would take profits ASAP

Breakout positive volume momentum is starting to wane. We may need to retest the EMA26 at some point ($167)
Trade closed: target reached
Well that was quick
