LTC/USD Daily Chart: Ranging
LTC/USD Daily Chart
Litecoin started a decent recovery from the $104.02 low on July 20. The LTC/USD pair sustained the rebound above the $135 barrier to surpass the MA 50. Continuing its advance, LTC broke and closed above the $146 resistance on August 6, completing a double bottom pattern. The RSI is strengthening in the bullish section, towards the 70 marks. If the LTC/USD pair rises further, immediate resistance might be found at the $181 high, before the price jumps towards the MA 200 barrier at $191.
If bulls sustain the price above the breakout level, it will suggest the start of a new uptrend targetting the $230-300 range. Otherwise, if sellers sink deeper, the $149.87 barrier and the MA 50 at $134 could provide the initial key constrictions necessary to sustain the climb. Steeper declines under the MA 50 would have to tackle a more durable support section from the $117 level and the June bottom of $105.
LTC/USD 4-Hour Chart: Bullish
LTC/USD 4-Hour Chart
Litecoin gapped higher, spiking above the $157 resistance today, continuing the recent traction it found off the MA 50 at the $146 level. If buyers manage to maintain the current trajectory, immediate upside constraints may commence from the $181 barrier ahead of the $230-$318 range. Decisively clearing this ceiling, LTC could turn its focus towards the yearly peak of $413.
Otherwise, if sellers retake the wheel and drive the LTC price down below the $157 barrier, the next hardened support may develop from the MA 50 at $146 until the $135 level. Managing to slide under this barrier, the price may meet the MA 200 at $133 before challenging the region of lows between $107-$123. To summarize, LTC/USD is recouping lost grounds and a successful attempt above the $191 barrier could tend to further upside gains.
