Litecoin Rises But Challenges Resistance At $96

Litecoin (LTC) price continues to rise, but is struggling to reach its recent high of $96.

Long-term forecast for the Litecoin price: bullish

The uptrend of Litecoin price that started on March 24 was broken at the $96 high and later changed its direction above the moving average lines. For the last two weeks, the cryptocurrency has been trading above the moving averages lines, but reaching the recent high proved to be difficult. The LTC price is currently at $95.48 and is unable to break above this resistance. The highs of $96 and $105 should be resistance on the upside for Litecoin. The price indicator predicts that the LTC price will rise to a high of $122 in a short period of time if the current resistances are broken. If it is rejected at the current high, Litecoin could fall below the moving average lines.
