Litecoin Recovers above $125 Support as Sellers Threaten to Short

Litecoin (LTC) is recovering as the price fell to the low at $125 and rebounded. The recovery has reached the high of $200 but it is facing a minor resistance at the recent high. Now the recovery will be complete if buyers push LTC price above the moving averages or $280 high.

Litecoin Price Long-Term Prediction: Bearish

The upside momentum will resume. Litecoin will be out of downward correction. Perhaps the altcoin will rise to $300 high. However, if the LTC/USD faces rejection at the minor resistance, the altcoin is likely to fall. The market will decline to the low of $80. From the price action, the bears are still threatening to short. The upward move was rejected at the resistance of $200. On the downside, if the bulls fail to break the recent low, LTC/USD will be compelled to a range-bound move between $125 and $200.
