Litecoin Price Analysis LTC USD

It has opened the doors for more declines below $78.00. At the moment, the price is trading near the $77.50 support area, which may hold declines in the short term.

Should there be a break below $77.50, the price may test the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the last leg from the $72.00 low to $89.95 high. Below this, there are high chances that litecoin price may revisit the $72.00 swing support.

If there is an upside move from the current levels, the broken support at $80.00 could act as a resistance. Moreover, yesterday’s highlighted crucial bearish trend line is active with resistance at $82.50 on the hourly chart of the LTC/USD pair.

The trend line resistance at $82.50 is close to the 100 hourly simple moving average. Therefore, a break above $82.00-82.50 won’t be easy. Above this, the price may perhaps avert more losses.

The overall price action is bearish and it seems like LTC/USD could decline further towards $75.00 and $72.00 in the near term.
