Litecoin Hovers above $80 as Buyers Recoup to Resume Uptrend

This has been the bearish scenario since November 23 when Litecoin reached a high of $90. At the $90 overhead resistance, buyers could not penetrate the resistance after three unsuccessful attempts. The crypto will fall each time the resistance is tested. Today, Litecoin has fallen to the $80 support and it is most likely to move up. On December 4, the crypto moved up after testing the $80 support. Nonetheless, if the $80  support fails to hold the coin will decline to $65 low.
