Litecoin Bulls Sustain Recent Rallies but Struggle to Break $230 Resistance

For the past week, Litecoin attained a peak price of $230 and a further upward move resulted in a downward correction. Buyers have made concerted efforts to push LTC’s price above the recent high but were repelled.

On February 14, the bulls attempted to break the resistance but the altcoin fell to a low of $185.50. The bulls were on hand as they bought the dips which propel the market to move up. The price rallied to $240 and it was subsequently repelled. Litecoin made another downward correction to $220 low. Today, the cryptocurrency is fluctuating below and above the $230 price level. There has been no significant price movement as altcoin is yet to trend. On the upside, if the bulls can break the recent high; the market will reach the highs of $250 and $270 price levels.
