Litecoin Price Forecast

It seems like litecoin price failed miserably to hold the $96.00 and $95.00 support levels against the US Dollar. The LTC/USD pair declined further and traded below the $92.00 support area.

The main reason for the current decline is bitcoin price rise, which traded above $17,000 recently. LTC faced sellers and almost tested the $90.00 handle. A low was formed at $90.09 from where the price started correcting higher.

It spiked above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from the $104.00 high to $90.09 low. Having said that, it seems like the price is struggling to move above the $95.00 level.

The mentioned $95.00 level was a support earlier and now it is acting as a resistance. Moreover, the 38.2% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from the $104.00 high to $90.09 low is around $95.40 and is preventing gains.

Moreover, there is a major bearish trend line with current resistance at $95.15 on the hourly chart of LTC/USD. The trend line resistance and $96.00 could play a key role in the near term.

As long as the price is below the $96.00 level, there is a chance of LTC/USD moving back towards $90.00 and it could even form a new low before recovering.

On the upside, a successful close above the $96.00 level could open the doors for a push towards the all-important $100.00 handle. The short-term bias for litecoin is currently bearish, but it’s not due to a negative market sentiment.
