Litecoin Price Analysis

After a steady rise, bitcoin, Ethereum, ripple and litecoin struggled to continue higher against the US Dollar. LTC price faced a strong resistance near the $44.00 area and formed a high at $44.03 before correcting lower.

There was a break below the $42.60 support level. Moreover, the price traded below the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $39.37 low to $44.00 high.

The price is now trading below the $42.00 support and the 55 simple moving average (4-hours). Additionally, there was a break below a major bullish trend line with support near $41.30 on the 4-hours chart of the LTC/USD pair.

An immediate support for litecoin is near the $40.50 level. Besides, the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $39.37 low to $44.00 high is also near the $40.47 level.

If the price fails to stay above the $40.50 support, there is a risk of a downside extension below the $40.00 support. The next major support is near the $39.40 level (the last swing low).

Any further losses may perhaps lead the price towards the $38.20 support. It is close to the 1.236 Fib extension level of the upward move from the $39.37 low to $44.00 high.

On the upside, there are many hurdles for the bulls near the $42.00 and $42.60 levels. More importantly, the $44.00 level is a crucial resistance area. Therefore, a successful close above $44.00 and $45.00 is needed for a sustained upward move towards $50.00 and $52.00.
