Litecoin Price Analysis LTC USD

It seems like a major recovery in LTC won’t be easy since there are many hurdles on the upside on the way to $130. There are also two key bearish trend lines formed with hurdles near $122 and $126 on the hourly chart of the LTC/USD pair.

The second trend line is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the $136.03 high to $116.25 low. Therefore, a break above the $126 level could open the gates for a push above the $130 pivot level.

On the flip side, if litecoin price fails to move above the $126 resistance level, it could move down once again. The recent low of $116.25 is a short-term support, followed by the $110.00 level.

If sellers remain in action, there is even a chance that the price may break $110 for a run towards the $100 handle in the near term.
