Litecoin Price Analysis
This past week, there was a downside extension in litecoin price below the $55.00 support against the US Dollar. The LTC/USD pair even broke the $52.50 support and settled well below the 55 simple moving average (4-hours). A swing low was formed near $50.30 and the price is currently consolidating losses. It recovered above the $54.00 and $55.00 levels.
Furthermore, it surpassed the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last key decline from the $73.99 high to $50.30 low. However, the upward move is facing resistance near the $58.00 level and the 55 simple moving average (4-hours). More importantly, there is a major bearish trend line forming with resistance near $60.00 on the 4-hours chart of the LTC/USD pair.
If there is an upside break above $58.00 and $60.00, the price could test the key $62.50 resistance area. It also coincides with the 50% Fib retracement level of the last key decline from the $73.99 high to $50.30 low. To move into a positive zone, the price must break the $60.00 and $62.50 resistance levels. If the price fails to climb above $60.00 or $62.50, it could resume its decline.
An immediate support is near the $54.00 level. The next key support is near the $52.50 level, below which the price may perhaps test the $50.00 support level. Any further downsides is likely to push the price towards the $46.00 and $45.00 support levels in the near term.
Looking at the chart, litecoin price is currently consolidating losses above the $52.50 support. It seems like the price might correct higher towards $60.00 or $62.50. However, it won’t be easy for the bulls to push the price above the $62.50 resistance area. If they succeed, the price could even surge above the $65.00 resistance and revisit the $70.00 area.
