Litecoin in a Brief Surge, Setting up for a Potential Relief Rally

Litecoin rebounded above $41 as the coin reached a high of $43.88 high. Following the recent breakdown on June 27, the bears pushed the coin to $39 low.

The price corrected upward and consolidated above $41 support. The bulls have broken the minor resistance at $42 but the price was stalled at $44.50 resistance.

Litecoin is now fluctuating below the current resistance at $44.50 and above $43 support. A strong bounce above $43 will propel price to break the current resistance and the momentum will extend to retest the $48 and $50 resistance. The crypto will continue to consolidate above $43 if the bulls fail to break above the current resistance.

Litecoin indicator analysis 

The price has broken above 12-day EMA and the 26-day EMA. This suggests that LTC will rise if the current momentum is sustained above the EMAs. Presently, LTC is above 40% range of the daily stochastic. It indicates that the market has bullish momentum.

Key Resistance levels: $80, $100, $120

Key Support levels: $50, $40, $20 

What is the next move for Litecoin?

Litecoin bulls have successfully defended the $40 support which has not been broken since April. Each time the bears push the coin to $39 low, the bulls will buy the dips to push the coin upward. Nevertheless, buyers have to sustain the current momentum above the EMAs. A downward move will ensue if price breaks below the EMAs.
