Latest Litecoin price and analysis (LTC to USD)

Litecoin is currently trading just below the psychological level of resistance at $200 after bouncing from overnight lows of $190.

The world’s ninth largest cryptocurrency, which has fallen down the rankings this year in light of DeFi’s rise, remains in a bullish posture on higher time frames despite presenting some warning signs in the short term.

It then formed a yearly high of $249 in February, however investors will be concerned at the recent high on March 13 failing to breach the $229 level of resistance.

Trade volume has been steadily decreasing since the recent high, demonstrating that bullish momentum is beginning to taper off following a three month period that has seen Litecoin’s value increase by more than 150%.

Whilst volatility has retracted over the past few weeks, it seems as though as major move it on the cards with all momentum indicators having reset.

However, much of it will depend on the trajectory of Bitcoin, which in itself is struggling to sustain momentum following this month’s record high of $61,800, with it currently trading at $57,000.
