Litecoin Fluctuates in a Price Range, Shows No Strength above $210 Resistance

Today, Litecoin slumps to $196 low and immediately the bulls buy the dips to push LTC upward. Since the March 13 drawdown, the LTC/USD price has been in a downward correction.

The price has been consolidating above $195 but buyers have failed to push LTC above the $200 price level. Although in previous price action the bulls have made concerted efforts to trade above the $200 support level. 

For instance, for the past three days, the bulls have retested and broken above the $200 resistance but selling pressure has repelled the bullish move. The bears are defending above the $210 price level. The bullish scenario is that if buyers push the price above $210 and the momentum is sustained, a retest at $230 is possible. Conversely, if LTC falls and the bears break the $195 support level, the altcoin will further decline to $180 low. The altcoin is trading at $203 at the time of writing.

Litecoin Indicator Analysis

Since March 17, the upward move has been repelled by the 50-day SMA. The bulls have retested the 50-day SMA thrice. On each attempt, the price will fall to the $195 support. LTC price will rise if the bulls break the 21-day and 50-day SMAs. The upward move has been stable above the bullish trend line. A break below the trend line will mean a downward movement of prices.

Technical indicators:  

Major Resistance Levels – $240 and $260

Major Support Levels – $160 and $140
