Litecoin Price Forecast

Yesterday, we discussed about a crucial support near the $51.00 level in litecoin price against the US dollar. The LTC/USD pair remained above the $51.00 support and later gained traction for an upside move.

Looking at the chart, LTC price formed a low near $51.30 and started an upside move. It traded above the $52.00 resistance and the 100 hourly simple moving average. The upside move was strong as the price broke the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $53.24 high to $51.30 low.

More importantly, this week’s followed crucial bearish trend line was cleared with resistance at $52.00 on the hourly chart of the LTC/USD pair.

The pair tested the $52.50 level and the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $53.24 high to $51.30 low. It is currently consolidating above the $52.00 level with a positive angle.

Overall, the recent upside break in litecoin price is showing positive signs above $52.00. Having said that, LTC price needs to trade past the $53.50 resistance to climb further higher towards the $55.00 level.
