Litecoin Is in a Deadlock as Bears Threaten ​to Short

Today, Litecoin (LTC) fell to $131 after being rejected at the high of $139. The crypto fell as the price broke below the moving averages. Selling pressure is likely to accelerate below the moving averages.

The downtrend will continue as Litecoin falls and breaks below the previous low at $128 support. This will lead to a further decline to the low at $117.

The long candlestick tails indicate that there is strong buying pressure above the previous low.​
