Litecoin Unable to Break $51 Resistance as Sideways Move Lingers

Buyers are making frantic efforts to break above the $51 resistance. Today will be the third attempt at the $51 resistance.

In the previous attempts, buyers were repelled as the price fell to the lower price range. The upside momentum will resume if buyers push the coin above the $55 high. The market has not reached the targeted price level to resume the upside momentum. 

Possibly, a strong bounce below the $51 resistance will enable price to break the resistance level. When buyers break the resistance level, LTC will rise above $55 high. Subsequently, the momentum will extend to $64 high. On the other hand, if buyers fail to scale above the resistance, LTC will fall to the lower price range. A break below the current support will make the coin to reach $39 low.
