LTC/USD daily chart

The price has been enjoying a consecutive run higher, however, has seen some narrowing over the last going on three sessions. It could very well be consolidation ahead of further bull commitment. The upside barriers to note are $45-46 and then $50. There does, however, remain the small risk of a daily flag structure.
