Litecoin Is in a Brief Uptrend, Unable to Sustain Above $190 Overhead Resistance

The price of Litecoin (LTC) trades above the moving average. Today, buyers are retesting resistance at $190 as the cryptocurrency drops to $188. The LTC price has been stuck below the $190 resistance zone.

The bulls have failed to break through this resistance since August 16. The bulls have also been beaten back at this resistance three times in the last four days. An upside breakout above resistance would catapult the altcoin to a high of $220. The bullish momentum will extend to the high of $230. On the other hand, if the bulls fail to break above resistance, Litecoin will dip back into a trading range below resistance.
