LTC/USD Daily Chart
The MA 50 and MA 200 remain bearishly crossed on the daily chart for the LTC/USD market, thus limiting a short moment of previous bull market volatility achieved in the first quarter. The MA 50 now stands at $44.13 beneath present market price but may, once breached, further serve as resistance in the near term.
Significant downward price action may lead in a further inflated shift, as the long positions may begin to untangle. This week, given the sudden bearish shifting from the $51.00 resistance area, Litecoin seems to be at risk of further potential losses. The technical analysis reveals that the LTC/USD pair may discover persistent weakness under the $45.00 mark as a bear market.

LTC/USD 4-Hour Chart
As seen in the short-term timeframe above, the price has fallen below the region of $45.00 and found some support just under $43.00. The area of $43.00 has been used several times in the past and is represented by the MA 50 red line on the 4-hour chart. Under the 50 mid-line, the Relative Strength Index indicator has dropped into a more bearish position, which may be a warning that more bearishness is coming.
One of the chart’s key features is the bounce off the ascending trendline support that connects to the recent low at $39.50. The LTC/USD pair is only bullish while trading beyond the level of $45.00, the main resistance is seen at levels between $47.50 and $50.00. Sellers may test the $41.31 and $39.50 support levels with the price of LTC/USD pair trading beneath $45.00.
