Latest Litecoin price and analysis (LTC to USD)

Litecoin is currently trading just shy of the $110 level of resistance after a 13.7% bounce over the past 10 days.

The industry’s 21st largest asset by market cap remains in a troubling downtrend on all higher time frames in spite of signs of promise in the short-term.

If Litecoin can rally and begin to close daily candles above the $119 level of resistance, it would begin to form the hallmarks of a bullish reversal.

However, the most notable level of resistance is at $144. If Litecoin can begin to trend upwards and break above that in the coming weeks and months, it should eventually make an all-time high before the end of the year.

If the market begins to take a turn to the downside, Litecoin needs to ensure it continues trading above $90 to alleviate fears of it thrusting into a gruelling bear market, which would bring in price targets as low as $50.

Much of it will depend on the direction of Bitcoin, which is currently trading at $40,700. If Bitcoin breaks below the $37,300 level of support the entire market is expected to crumble, although this will be reliant on macro economic news and developments in the Ukraine and Russia conflict.
