Cause Of The fall In Litecoin Price? Target Achieved, Needed A Breather
Litecoin price has declined in the current session after achieving its previously set target of $235-$237, which was measured based on the role of the flag and pole pattern it broke. Now the coin is making a bearish engulfing candle that has wiped up the past few sessions’ gains in a day. The crucial resistance can be $255, $232 and $215, while support may exist at $185(Previous top) or $160.
The right image indicators show that the price has declined below the 10EMA, 20EMA and 50EMA; these EMAs will start acting as resistance now; their current levels are $222, $235 and $217, respectively. 200 EMA is the crucial support now, which is buzzing at $180 levels.
The Bollinger bands now favour the bears, as the upper band has started declining while the lower band is falling; this indicates one-sided movement. The lower band has provided support to the price today, at $200, while the resistance and median (10EMA) are resistance at $244 and $222, respectively.
RSI levels are 56.5, and the support is expected at 37-45 zones. The cause of the decline also lies with RSI, which made a lower top while the price made similar tops; this proved as a negative divergence and brought in profit booking due to the declining in strength.
MACD(8,21,5) made a bearish crossover and at the levels of the previous top. The current levels are 26.5-27 but can find supports along 13-14 and 9-10 levels.

Litecoin price has reversed with all the confirmations, which involves volume analysis, EMA and a triplet of indicators -Bollinger Bands, RSI and MACD. Reversal can only be expected at $185 levels, with strong support made by the previous top of the coin.
