Litecoin Engages Major Resistance at $46, May Slide Below $43

For the past week, buyers made two unsuccessful attempts to push LTC above the $46 resistance. The bears defended the recent high as LTC was pushed to the $43 low.

On the other hand, the bulls held on the $43 support for the past week. As the current support holds, price has been consolidating above it after the recent rejection. 

Nonetheless, if the bulls break the $46 resistance, a retest of the $51 overhead resistance is possible. However, if buyers fail to break the recent high, the uptrend will be under threat. Litecoin will fall and continue its range bound movement between $40 and $46. In the meantime, the market is falling after retesting the $44 price level. The upward move will resume if the $43 support holds.

What Is the Next Move for Litecoin?
