Litecoin Price Analysis LTC USD

It broke the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $72.70 low to $84.07 high. It opened the doors for more declines and the price tested the $78.00 support. However, the declines were protected by the $78.00 support and the 100 hourly simple moving average.

More importantly, the 50% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $72.70 low to $84.07 high also acted as a support. At the moment, there is a short-term declining channel formed with resistance at $80.00 on the hourly chart of the LTC/USD pair.

The pair is moving higher and it seems like it could break the channel resistance at $80.00. Above this, the price must break the $82.00 and $84.00 resistance levels to continue higher.

The next hurdle for buyers is near the $90.00 level. On the flip side, if litecoin price moves down, the $78.00 support may perhaps play an important role.

If LTC/USD fails to stay above the $78.00 support and the 100 hourly SMA, it will most likely move back in the bearish zone.
