Litecoin Surpasses Previous Peak Price of $82, Struggles below $90 Resistance

Litecoin (LTC) has continued its rallies as bulls broke above the previous peak price of $82. Initially, the LTC price was making a series of higher highs and higher lows.

Litecoin Price Long-Term Prediction: Bullish

Also, the upward move was temporarily halted at the $84 high as the bears pushed LTC to $80 support on November 22. However, after the correction, the bulls broke the $84 resistance to push the LTC rally to a $90 high. On the upside, if buyers can push LTC above $90, the coin will rally above $100 high. 

Perhaps, the uptrend will resume. However, if buyers fail to resume the upside momentum, LTC will be compelled to a sideways move for a few days. This may be caused by the formation of a Doji candlestick in today’s candle formation. Today’s candlestick  has a long wick. It indicates that there is strong selling pressure at higher levels. Similarly, on November 22, the $80 support was holding because of the formation of a candlestick with a long tail. The long tail indicates that there is strong buying pressure at lower levels of price. In a nutshell, the altcoin may be range-bound between $80 and $90.
