Bullish momentum peaked at $82.85 before being rejected

Litecoin (LTC) has resumed its upward trend after falling to a low of $72.

LTC price long-term prediction: bullish

The cryptocurrency rose above the moving average lines but was halted by the 50-day SMA. Since January 1, the price has remained trapped between the moving average lines. If buyers break through the 50-day SMA barrier or resistance at $82, the LTC price is expected to rise above the $88 level. The positive momentum is projected to continue, potentially reaching a high of $103.

However, if the bullish scenario does not materialise, the LTC price will remain between the moving average lines. The altcoin will retrace and remain range-bound above the 21-day SMA support. Today, Litecoin reached a high of $81.41.
