LTC/USD – Daily Chart
Looking at the chart, the move took place following a breakout of a ceiling at $95.50, and came as the relative strength index (RSI) collided with a resistance of its own.
As of writing, the index is tracking at 65.96, which is marginally below a resistance level at 66.00.
Since approaching this point, earlier gains have somewhat declined, with LTC now trading at $95.58.
Cosmos (ATOM)
Cosmos (ATOM) was another notable mover in today’s session, with the token climbing for a second straight day.
Following a low of $13.15 on Tuesday, ATOM/USD moved to a peak of $13.84 earlier in the day.
Wednesday’s rally saw cosmos move above a ceiling at $13.50, nearing its highest point since November 8 in the process.
ATOM/USD – Daily Chart
Whilst this resistance level was broken, the 14-day RSI was approaching one of its own at 66.00.
As of writing, the index is tracking at 61.77, after it bounced from a support point at 58.00
Should this ceiling at 66.00 be hit, it is likely that ATOM could be trading above the $14.00 mark.
