Litecoin Price Analysis LTC USD

Looking at the chart, LTC price traded nicely and settled above the $60.00 support plus the 100 hourly simple moving average. It traded as high as $63.68 before starting a downside correction.

The price dipped below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent upside move from the $56.92 low to $63.68 high. It seems like the price is now approaching the $61.00 support area, which was a resistance earlier.

Below $61.00, the next major support is near the $60.00 level since the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent upside move from the $56.92 low to $63.68 high is positioned near the $60.30 level.

More importantly, there is a major bullish trend line in place with support at $59.20 on the hourly chart of the LTC/USD pair. The trend line support above $59.00 holds a lot of importance since it coincides with the 100 hourly SMA.

Therefore, only a close below the $59.00 level and the 100 hourly SMA could open the doors for more declines in the near term. On the other hand, if the price bounces back after testing the $60.00 support, it may well retest the $63.00 level.

Overall, the current structure is positive for litecoin price and it remains nicely supported near $60.00 and $59.00.
