The cryptocurrency market continues on the rollercoaster ride from month to month, although the bias remains bullish overall, as most cryptocurrencies keep making new highs. But, Ripple coin and Litecoin have failed to reach the highs of 2017, and remaining undecided, while the rest of the crypto market is turning bullish and already heading for new highs. Ethereum, for example, is heading for $5,000, while Avalanche has already made new record highs this week. Litecoin and Ripple are trying to decide what to do after the November decline has ended, so let’s have a look at these two cryptocurrencies.

Litecoin Weekly Chart Analysis – LTC Finding Support at the 50 SMA

Will we see a strong bounce off the 50 weekly SMA?

After the surge in the first several months of this year and the crash that followed in May/June, Litecoin has maintained a slight bullish bias overall, as seen on the weekly chart above. LTC/USD pushed up to $235 first, before surging to almost $300 last month, as the number of active addresses with no-zero balance increases, which correlates with bullish periods in LTC.

Litecoin has struck a number of deals in recent months which has brought LTC further into the mainstream. AMC theatres has decided to accept Litecoin as a form of payment while Visa has partnered with Litecoin to introduce the Visa LTC debit card. After the retreat lower last month, following the jump higher, the 50 weekly SMA (yellow) came to the rescue, and it seems to have turned into support now, holding the decline. Currently, the crypto market is reversing higher, and Litecoin is starting to bounce off the 50 SMA, but the bullish momentum seems weak, so this crypto is not bullish yet. For now, we remain bullish on Litecoin.

Ripple Weekly Chart Analysis – XRP Has no Bias

XRP is oversold on the weekly chart now

Ripple has not shown any buying pressure this year, apart from a short-lived jump in April. The rest of the crypto market has been surging this year and most cryptocurrencies continue to make new highs. The legal battle with the SEC in the US has been keeping investors off Ripple, but once the lawsuit finally draws to a close, we will see a strong surge in the price of XRP.

JP Morgan investment bank also sounded upbeat about this cryptocurrency taking off if Ripple wins the lawsuit against the SEC. The XRP Army will monitor Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong’s comments at the forum, especially after JP Morgan’s report listed Coinbase as a key catalyst for XRP’s adoption among the crypto community going forward. So, Ripple buyers are waiting for the lawsuit to head toward the end and then jump in on XRP/USD, which makes it a good crypto coin to invest in now.
