Litecoin (LTC) has surged above the moving average lines, reaching a high of $84.77.


However, buyers were unable to maintain bullish momentum above the $85 level. 


Litecoin price long-term prediction: bullish


Today, the cryptocurrency price has fallen below the moving average lines. Litecoin is trading in a narrow range, above the 50-day SMA support and below the resistance at $85. If the 50-day SMA support holds, the price is likely to rise and retest the $85 barrier. Litecoin could return to its previous high of $103 if the current barrier is broken. If the 50-day SMA support is breached, the LTC price will fall between the moving average lines. Furthermore, bearish momentum may continue towards the previous low of $72.


Technical Indicators:


  • Resistance Levels – $100, $120, $140


  • Support Levels – $60, $40, $20
