LTC's recent trend has been quite aggressive, with the 4-hour K-line's KDJ J value soaring to 85, clearly in overbought territory. It looks like a strong rally, but the details don't add up—although the MACD has a bullish crossover, the momentum histogram is shrinking, which indicates a problem. The candlestick pattern has formed a standard bearish flag, with a long upper shadow encountering strong resistance around 76, all pointing to a signal: the bulls lack follow-through momentum.

From the market perspective, there are obvious signs of the main force enticing more buyers at this level. The volume contraction during the rebound often signals distribution, and it's also an ideal opportunity to enter short positions. This technical divergence is quite clear, and the outlook remains bearish.

Oh, the MACD momentum bars are so weak, it feels like the main force is playing tricks again --- A volume-reducing rebound is just a routine, easy to see through the distribution rhythm --- J value of 85 is so outrageous, no wonder the long upper shadow was smashed to death --- Another bearish flag pattern, this downward move probably has no escape --- The overbought signal is so obvious, why aren’t you shorting yet? What are you waiting for? --- MACD forms a golden cross but the energy bars are declining, this is called divergence, a common cliché --- I agree that the bulls lack follow-through momentum, preparing to go short --- The main force’s trap to induce buying, I’ve seen it many times, not surprising --- This kind of volume-reducing rebound is usually a sign that the main force has finished distributing --- LTC is about to fall this wave, I bet on a downward move

lmao the macd divergence here is *chef's kiss* — momentum's literally evaporating while price keeps pumping. classic liquidity grab before the dump tbh

The issue with the shrinking of the momentum柱 is indeed problematic; I agree with the bearish perspective.

This is similar to reentrancy attacks in smart contracts. On the surface, the process appears complete, but the underlying logic has already collapsed. A volume-reducing rebound is essentially a process of vulnerability reproduction. Once the audit report is released... Pump-and-dump schemes are like unchecked overflows—they will eventually cause a crash.
