Litecoin Makes a Deep Retracement, May Soon Resume Uptrend

On June 27, Litecoin plunged to a $39 low after the bears broke the $42 support. The crypto has been consolidating between $42 and $45 since June 11.

During the period of consolidation, buyers made four attempts to break the $45 resistance but were repelled. Nevertheless, the bears overpowered the bulls as the $42 support was breached. The coin fell to $39 low but price corrected upward to the high of $42. 

The bulls retested the $42 resistance twice and were repelled. The market is falling from $42 but the bulls are struggling to sustain the price above $41. On the downside, if the selling pressure resumes and breaks below $40, the market will drop to $34. However, if the support at $40 holds, LTC will be range-bound between $40 and $42. On the upside, if the crypto rebounds above the support at $41, Litecoin will rise and return to the $42- $45 price range.
