Litecoin Consolidates Above $144 Support as Buyers and Sellers Remain undecided

Litecoin (LTC) price is in a downward correction as the altcoin falls below its moving averages. LTC price's recovery is being hindered by resistance at $165.

Sellers have pushed the bullish momentum back into the rangebound zone. Today, the LTC price is consolidating above the $144 support. It is also below the blue line, the 21-day moving average.

Last week's price consolidation was marked by small indecisive candlesticks called doji and spinning tops. These candlesticks indicate that buyers and sellers are undecided as to the direction of the market. However, if the bears break below the $144 support, the altcoin will fall to a low of $126. On the upside, Litecoin bulls need to break through $165 and $200 resistance to get out of the downside correction.
