However, there are many resistances on the upside near $225. There is also a short-term bearish trend line forming with resistance at $222 on the hourly chart of the LTC/USD pair.

Moreover, the 38.2% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $252 high to $203 low is at $225 to act as a resistance. More importantly, the $225 level is near the 100 hourly SMA. Therefore, the price has to move above the channel resistance at $222 and then break the $225 resistance to gain upside momentum.

If the pair fails to move above the $225 level, it could decline once again. The most important support on the downside is now at $205 and $200. LTC must stay above the $200 level to avoid further declines. Below $200, the next key support is at $185, which is also a pivot level.
