Litecoin Consolidates above $127 as Bears and Bulls Reach Indecision

The price of Litecoin (LTC) was in a brief uptrend last week as the altcoin rose to a high of $140. However, in the last 24 hours, the LTC price has retraced to support above $127. The retracement finished above $127 support as the crypto consolidated back above it.

Buyers and sellers are undecided on the direction of the market as crypto consolidates above the current support. On the upside, Litecoin will rise to the next resistance at $180 if the $140 price level is broken. On the other hand, if Litecoin rejection is faced at the $140 high, the market is likely to fall to the low of $107. Meanwhile, LTC/USD is consolidating above the $127 support.
