LTC will continue its sideways movement above the current support

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.

In the lower time frame, the market is making a series of lower highs and lower lows. The price action is showing bearish signals as Litecoin resumes a downtrend.

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. However, if the previous low holds, LTC will continue its sideways movement above the current support. The long candlestick tails point to the previous low above $128. The long candlestick tails indicate that there is strong buying pressure above the previous low.​
