Litecoin Price Eyes Fresh Increase
After forming a base above $85, Litecoin started a fresh increase. LTC price broke the $88 and $90 resistance levels to move into a positive zone, like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
The price gained over 10% and even cleared the $95 level. A high was formed at $98 before there was a pullback. The price dipped below $88 and tested $82. A low was formed at $81.69 and the price is now consolidating losses below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $94.71 swing high to the $81.69 low.
Litecoin is now trading below $88 and the 100 simple moving average (4 hours). On the upside, immediate resistance is near the $85.00 zone. There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $86.00 on the hourly chart of the LTC/USD pair.
The next major resistance is near the $88 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $94.71 swing high to the $81.69 low. If there is a clear break above the $88 resistance, the price could start another strong increase. In the stated case, the price is likely to continue higher toward the $92 and $95 levels. Any more gains might send LTC’s price toward the $100 resistance zone.
