Litecoin Price Analysis

In the past few hours, there was a significant decline in bitcoin, Ethereum, ripple, and litecoin against the US Dollar. Earlier, LTC price failed to clear the main $45.00 resistance area, resulting in a bearish reaction.

The price traded below the $43.20 support zone and settled below the 55 simple moving average (4-hours). The decline was such that the price even spiked below the $42.00 support. It traded as low as $41.62 and currently consolidating losses.

An initial resistance is near the $42.40 level or the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent slide from the $44.69 high to $41.62 low. The first major resistance could be near the $43.20 and $43.10 levels.

The 50% Fib retracement level of the recent slide from the $44.69 high to $41.62 low is also near the $43.10 level. The main resistance is still near the $44.50 and $45.00 levels. There is also a major bearish trend line forming with resistance near $44.50 on the 4-hours chart of the LTC/USD pair.

Therefore, litecoin price must surpass the $44.50 and $45.00 resistance levels to start a strong increase. On the downside, the $41.50 region is a strong support. If the bulls fail to keep the price above $41.50, there is a risk of more downsides below the $40.00 support.

A successful break below $41.50 and a close below $40.00 will most likely start a major downtrend. The next key support is seen near the $36.50 level.
