Litecoin Consolidates Between $172 and $186 as It Reaches Equilibrium

Litecoin (LTC) price is trading at $179 at the time of writing. The price movement is stagnating due to the emergence of candlesticks with small bodies called doji and spinning tops. These candlesticks are responsible for the current sideways movement.

The candlesticks describe that buyers and sellers are undecided about the direction of the market. This is the reason for the price fluctuations. The current sideways movement will continue for a few more days as the RSI of period 14 indicates a balance between supply and demand.

If the price breaks below the 50-day line SMA and the downward momentum continues, the selling pressure will resume. Meanwhile, the LTC price is trading marginally in the range bound zone.
