Litecoin Recovers as Bulls Defend the $42 Demand Zone

Litecoin made a bold move as it traded into the range of between $42 and $50. In the previous week, the bulls impressively reached a high of $44 but were resisted. The coin retraced and found support at $42. Incidentally, the coin has come back to its original range to resume fluctuation. It is expected that the demand zone at $42 will hold, if it does, Litecoin will reach the high of $50 and break it.

More so, the coin will continue ahead into the previous highs if the current bullish movement is sustained. Regrettably, it will be a set back if the coin slides below $42 due to another round of selling pressure. Hopefully, the price is fluctuating above the current support in readiness for an upward move.
