Litecoin Price Analysis LTC USD

More importantly, there was a break above a major bearish trend line with resistance at $93 on the hourly chart of the LTC/USD pair. The pair is currently showing a few positive signs above the $90 level.

However, there are many barriers on the upside around the $100 and $103 levels. Moreover, the 50% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the $108 swing to $88 low is also around the $100 handle to prevent an upside break.

The most significant hurdle for buyers is around the $103 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. It also coincides with the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the $108 swing to $88 low.

Therefore, any major recovery from the current levels may face sellers near the $103 level. On the downside, an initial support is at $90 followed by the $88 swing low. Below this, Litecoin price may test the $85 support level.
