Litecoin Price Analysis LTC Chart

Looking at the chart, LTC price traded as low as $71.99 and later started consolidating in a range. It slowly moved above the 50% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $77.92 high to $71.99 swing low.

Finally, the bulls came into action, resulting in gains above $74.00, $75.00, and the 100 hourly simple moving average. Besides, there was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance near $74.00 on the hourly chart.

It seems like there could be a short term downside correction towards $75.00 or $74.00 before the price climbs higher again. On the upside, a break above the $78.00 resistance will most likely open the doors for a sharp upward move towards the $80.00, $82.00 and $84.00 levels.
