Litecoin Makes an Upward Correction but Remains Stuck at $54

The price of Litecoin (LTC) is in a downward correction as buyers push the altcoin above the 21-day line SMA. The upward momentum could not go beyond the 50-day line SMA.

Currently, LTC is contained between the moving average lines. On October 23, buyers intended to push the altcoin above the moving average lines, but were rejected. 

In the past three days, the LTC price traded between the moving average lines. Litecoin will continue its uptrend if the bulls break the 50-day line SMA and the upward momentum continues. The market will rise and retarget the overriding resistance at $64. However, if the bullish scenario is invalidated, Litecoin will continue its sideways movement between the moving average lines. On the other hand, the altcoin will fall back to the current support at $48.
