  • LTC/USD is in a strong daily downtrend and already poked through $40 down to $39.
  • Litecoin needs to climb above the daily 12-EMA to have a chance to recover.

Litecoin is currently trading at $41 below the daily 12-EMA and the 26-EMA which crossed bearishly on June 14. LTC/USD has been weaker than most cryptos in the last month and the daily RSI is approaching oversold levels.
