The pair recently corrected towards $125, found buyers and started a fresh upside move. During the upside move, there was a break above a contracting triangle with resistance at $152 on the hourly chart of LTC/USD.

The pair traded as high as $164.96 and is currently correcting lower. An initial support is around the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last wave up from the $125.80 low to $164.96 high.

However, the most important support is near the triangle lower trend line at $140. The 50% Fib retracement level of the last wave up from the $125.80 low to $164.96 high is also at $145 to act as a support.

Therefore, the $140-150 support zone is a major buy area. Should the price dips from the current levels, buyers will most likely protect declines below $140.

On the upside, the $165 resistance is an immediate hurdle for buyers. Above $165, the next major resistance is at $168-170. The overall market sentiment is bullish as long as litecoin price is above the $140 pivot.
