Litecoin is assumed to be out of downward correction

On May 18, Litecoin (LTC) recovered after a recent fall to the low of $262. The LTC/USD pair rebounded above $270 to reach the previous highs. The bulls have broken the minor resistances at $290 and $310 to reach recent highs.

Litecoin Price Long-Term Prediction: Bullish 

Litecoin is assumed to be out of downward correction if buyers can push LTC above the $340 support. If buyers are successful above $340 support, Litecoin will resume upside momentum. 

Possibly, the bulls will retest the $400 resistance level. But if the bulls fail to sustain above $340 high, the market may decline. If the altcoin retraces and breaks below the $280 support the selling pressure will resume. In the meantime, the altcoin is trading at $312 at the time of writing.
