Litecoin Risks Further Decline as Price Hovers Above the Critical Support at $51

For the past week, Litecoin has been in a downward move after failing to break the $60 resistance. In the first rejection, the coin fell to a low at $55.20 as bulls bought the dips.

On October 28, buyers retested the resistance at $60 which compounded the downward move. Eventually, LTC dropped to $51 low and corrected upward. Nevertheless, the coin will sink further once the price breaks below the $51 support. The $51 support level is the price level where the crypto resumes the upside momentum. Meanwhile, Litecoin is trading at $52 at the time of writing.

What is the next move for Litecoin?

On October 31, Litecoin retested the $60 resistance zone. This resulted in a further downward movement of the coin. It is unclear the extent of the selling pressure. On the October 30 downtrend, the coin was resisted. The retraced candle body tested the 61.8 % Fibonacci retracement level. This implies that the coin will fall to level 1.618 Fibonacci extensions. That is a low of $47.
