Litecoin PRICE DAILY CHART (March 12 – May 19, 2020) Zoomed In
Based on the daily chart analysis, on April 6 Litecoin started a bullish momentum creating higher highs with higher lows. However, in late April the price reversed from the high end of the current trading zone $35.92- $50.20 reflecting a weaker bullish sentiment. On Saturday, the market corrected its uptrend and carved out a lower high at $48.8.
A close below the low end of the aforementioned zone may encourage bears to press LTC/USD towards $23.30.That said, the weekly support levels underscored on the chart (zoomed in) should be considered.
Any close in the other direction i.e. above the high end of the zone could resume bullish price action towards $62.20. A further close above that level may extend the rally towards $74.55. Nonetheless, the weekly resistance levels printed on the chart should be kept in focus.
