Litecoin Resumes Upward Move After Forming a Bearish Double Top

Litecoin has rallied and retested $340 overhead resistance after a price tussle at $300 minor resistance. In the first week of May, Litecoin bulls made their third attempt at the $300 resistance level.

On their first attempt at the resistance, the LTC price fell to the low of $288. Nevertheless, LTC /USD dropped sharply to $272 low as the altcoin formed a bearish double top pattern while attempting to break the resistance the second time. 

Expectantly, the bulls bought the dips as price resumed moving upward. The altcoin upward move is likely because the LTC price is above the moving averages. Today, the bulls have broken the resistance and made a pullback. The pullback retested the $300 support as price rallied to $340 high. LTC/USD is facing resistance at $340 after the recent rally. The altcoin price pulled back and it is consolidating above the $320 support. Presently, Litecoin is trading at $326.49 at the time of writing
