Litecoin Price Pulls Back And Faces First Resistance At $68

The price of Litecoin (LTC) has fallen below the moving average lines, but consolidation has continued above the $64 support level.

Long-term outlook for the Litecoin price: bearish

According to the analysis by Coinidol.com, the price of the altcoin fell to $56 during the price drop on January 3, but the bulls bought the dips. The altcoin continues to rise today after climbing back above $64. The high of $68 serves as the first resistance for the upside momentum. After the initial barrier at $68, the cryptocurrency is bearish. 

On the downside, the altcoin will fall and retrace its steps to the previous low at $56 should the sellers breach the existing support. 

However, should the current support hold, Litecoin will be forced to move between $64 and $71. In the meantime, Litecoin pulls back towards its current support.

Analysing the Litecoin indicators
