Litecoin Price Analysis
This week, there were additional losses in bitcoin, Ethereum, ripple, and litecoin before a decent recovery against the US Dollar. Earlier, LTC price broke the $140 and $125 support levels.
There was also a break below the $120 level and the price settled below the 55 simple moving average (4-hours). It traded as low as $111 before the bulls took a stand. The price started a fresh increase and climbed above the $125 resistance level.
There was a clear break above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $186 swing low to $111 swing low. Moreover, there was a break above a major contracting triangle with resistance near $140 on the 4-hours chart of the LTC/USD pair.
The price is now trading near the $148-$150 resistance zone. The 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $186 swing low to $111 swing low is also acting as a resistance.
If there are more upsides, the price could continue to rise towards the $158 resistance and the 55 simple moving average (4-hours). A close above the $158 and $160 levels will most likely call for a push towards the $180 and $185 resistance levels.
Conversely, the price could start a fresh downside correction below the $145 level. The first major support on the downside is near the $140 level. A break below the $140 level might put a lot of pressure on the bulls.
