1. Analysis of LTCUSDT volume on the Binance exchange.

In this analysis, we will use the data on horizontal trading volume from the Binance exchange on daily charts. The analysis is carried out based on the footprint-profile theory. According to the theory, the direction of the horizontal level with the highest trade volume within a day can indicate the likely direction of the trend. The level with the highest traded volume is the level where the maximum number of transactions has been made. This is the level of a major market player. Thus, if the maximum volume level moves higher, this indicates an uptrend. A downward movement of this level indicates a downtrend. A chaotic movement signals that the market is trading in a sideways trend.

01.03.21 – The level of the maximum traded volume (POC - Point Of Control) – 171

02.03.21 - The level of the maximum traded volume (POC - Point Of Control) – 182

The POC has moved upwards. The price is above the POC level. The market seems to have started moving upwards. So, you can open long positions.

2. Long-term trend analysis.

A trend is the trader's friend. Many market participants are aware of this saying. However, they do not know how to use it. The answer is simple: trade only in the direction of the trend. In this case, your trades will have more profit potential with less risk. The classic Dow Theory describes three main trends:

long-term;

medium-term;

short-term.

You need to analyze these trends before opening any trade. This is what we are going to do in the analysis below.

The long-term trend in this analysis is a daily trend. Trades will be made on the daily chart and held for several days. The analysis of the daily trend is carried out with the help of the EMA (48) - an exponential moving average with a period of 48. If the daily candle closed above the EMA (48), it means that we are facing an uptrend and should open long positions. If the daily candle closed below the EMA (48), it means that the trend is downward and we should open short positions.

The price is above the EMA (48). The chart shows the upward trend. In this situation, you may open long trades.

3. Analysis of medium-term trend

The medium-term trend is the trend on the 4-hour chart (H4). In this case, we will also turn to EMA (48). If the candlestick closes above EMA (48) on the 4-hour chart, it will indicate the upward trend. Thus, you should enter long. Otherwise, if the candlestick closes below EMA (48) on the H4 chart, it will indicate the downward trend. Consequently, you should enter short.

The price is above the EMA (48). The medium-term trend is upwards. Therefore, you may open long positions.

4. Short-term trend analysis.

In this analysis, the short-term trend is a trend on the H1 chart. It can show a point where we can enter the market. Here, we will again use the EMA (48) - an exponential moving average with a period of 48. If the candlestick closes above the EMA (48) on H1, this means that the quotes are trading upwards and we should buy. If the candlestick closes below the EMA (48) on H1, this indicates that the trend is downward and we should go short.

The price is above the EMA (48). The short-term trend is upward. The long-term, medium-term, and short-term trends coincide. Therefore, traders can go long.

5. Japanese candlestick analysis.

The classic Japanese candlestick analysis is applied to the daily trading chart. In this analysis, we will also analyze the daily candlestick.

The daily candlestick closed upwards, the candlestick is white. Its high is above the high of the previous candlestick. The price has formed a candlestick pattern with a hummer heading downwards. Yesterday's high has been broken. An upward movement looks likely.

6. Conclusions.

1. Volume analysis: BUY.

2. Long-term trend: BUY.

3. Medium-term trend: BUY.

4. Short-term trend: BUY.

5. Japanese candlestick analysis – BUY.

Conclusion: On March 3, you can open long positions.
