However, there is a major resistance near $210, which is preventing further recoveries. There is also a short-term bearish trend line forming with resistance at $210 on the hourly chart of the LTC/USD pair.

The trend line resistance is close to the 38.2% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the $216.41 high to $205.96 low. Lastly, the 100 hourly simple moving average is positioned near $210.

Therefore, the $210 area could act as a major resistance for the next move in LTC. Once there is a proper break and close above the mentioned $210 resistance, the price may continue to rise towards the next hurdle at $218 and $220.

On the flip side, if the price fails to move above the $210 resistance, it may retest the recent swing low of $205.96. In the mentioned case, the price could even test a crucial support at $204.

The overall bias is slightly bearish as long as the price is below $210. It seems like litecoin is consolidating above the $200 level and is preparing for the next move.
