LTC built a 3-step higher-low staircase and broke out — the retest is the trade, not the spike.

📌 Why it's on my radar:
• Structure: 4h lows stepped 66.80 → 67.94 → 68.00, then 69.32 cleared. Real base, not a wick spike.
• Volume: last closed hour traded ×1.13 its 24h average while price rose — participation confirms, no OI-heavy chase.
• Relative strength: +4.5% vs BTC +2.9% → RS_24h +1.6. LTC is leading, not riding.
• Room: still 6.8% below the 90d high (74.99), so TP2/TP3 sit in open air.

⚠️ Watch the set-up, don't chase it:
Price is already ~2% above my zone. I am not buying the break — I want 67.94–68.45 to hold on the pullback. Below 68.00, buyers stopped defending.

🧠 Signs I'm watching for:
— volume staying calm on the retest, not dumping into the zone
— funding staying flat (last settled −0.0041%, no crowded longs paying)
— the 68.00 shelf holding on the first touch

If buyers defend the shelf, the continuation format stays alive. A close below 68.00 plus rising funding weakens the case.

🎯 My personal trade plan (Binance Futures · 10x — not a call):
• Entry zone: 67.94 – 68.45 (price now: 69.89) — wait for the pullback
• Stop-loss: 66.78 (−2.07% from entry)
• Targets: TP1 70.26 (+3.03%) · TP2 72.10 (+5.73%) · TP3 73.55 (+7.85%)
• Rule: once TP1 hits, SL moves to entry — a winning trade never becomes a losing one. 🔒

❓ Base-breakout continuation, or a range-top fade? What matters most to you — the retest holding 68.00, or the volume profile?
