Litecoin Resumes Upside Momentum, Engages the $64 and $68 Resistances

Litecoin (LTC) rebounded twice above $54 as price hit the $64 resistance. Buyers have made an impressive move as the coin trades above the EMAs and the $60 support.

Litecoin Price Long-Term Prediction: Bullish

The recent upside momentum can be sustained if the price is sustained above $60 support. Yesterday, August 31, buyers failed to break the $64 resistance but retraced to $62 low. LTC is fluctuating above the $60 support. The minor resistance at $64 is impeding the recent bullish momentum. 

Litecoin will have a chance to break the resistance if it rebounds above the current support at $62. A strong bounce will propel the price to break the minor resistance and retest the $68 resistance. Litecoin will achieve the target price of $85 once the $68 resistance is cleared. The danger is that if buyers fail to sustain a price above $60, sellers will take advantage to break below it. It is likely the coin will decline to $54 low.
