Litecoin

The price of Litecoin (LTC), which has risen to a high of $83, is in an uptrend. LTC has fallen back below the high of $80 and as it approaches the overbought area of the market, it has the potential to continue upward. On the plus side, Litecoin will rise to $135 if buyers manage to keep the price above the $80 and $83 highs.
