Litecoin (LTC) bounced off the support zone at the $70 zone but the momentum lacked for completed flip to a bullish price structure.
Litecoin Price Action and Prediction
LTC held above $70 where price levels at $68 and $80 acted as key support and resistance for traders as they indicated breakout opportunities to either side.
The bearish trendline from $140 descended to touch $125 followed by $115 showed the ongoing market correction.
The price moved between these set boundaries as market participants displayed unclear behavior.
A decisive price rise above $80 resistance could start an upward price trajectory raising the potential for $96 and possibly reach $113 within the longer period which matched previous swing high levels.
Price movement below the $68 support level could activate additional selling force that could drive prices down toward $60 and could potentially reach even lower levels to revisit former support levels.
The descending triangle pattern showed clear indications for an upward breakout because of its horizontal $68 support.
The bearish momentum intensified within this pattern structure because breaking support at $68 would have led to major price reduction.
Litecoin’s bullish breakout which clearly surpassed both the descending trendline and the $80 resistance would cancel this bearish prediction thus leading to a start of an aggressive upward price movement.
