Litecoin Holds above $51 Support, May Resume Uptrend

On November 6, Litecoin's impressive run to $64 high has created a bearish reaction. On November 7, the coin plunged to $57 low. The bulls responded promptly to push the price to $62 high.

Unfortunately, buyers could not sustain the uptrend as they failed to push the price above the $62 high. Consequently, LTC has continued to fall on the downside. The bottom line is that if price falls and breaks below the SMAs or the $51 support, the selling pressure will persist.

 The coin may drop to a low of $50. Conversely, if LTC falls and finds support above $51, the upside momentum will resume. A strong bounce above the $51 support will propel the price to retest the $64 resistance. Eventually, if the $64 resistance is breached, a rally above $68 is possible. LTC is falling and has reached a low of $58 at the time of writing.
