However, the upside move was capped by a key pivot level at $142. The same level was a support earlier, and now it is preventing further upsides towards $150. A high was formed at $141.11 and the price moved below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $132.48 low to $141.11 high.

On the downside, there are many supports near the $136 and $135 levels. There is also a major ascending channel forming with support near the $136 level on the hourly chart of the LTC/USD pair.

The same trend line support is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $132.48 low to $141.11 high at $136.80. Therefore, if the price continues to move down, it will most likely find support near $136.50, $136.00 and $135.00.

Should there be a break below $130, the price may well move back in a bearish zone and it could retest the $130 support. On the flip side, if litecoin price moves above $142, it might accelerate gains towards the $150 level.
