Litecoin Rebounds and Breaks $180 High, a Revisit to $240 High Is Likely

For the past week, Litecoin (LTC) has been fluctuating between $155 and $180, after the recent breakdown. At the same time, buyers have been making a concerted effort to push LTC price above the minor resistance.

Litecoin Price Long-Term Prediction: Bullish

Today, March 2, after a successful rebound above the $171 low, the bulls have broken the $180 resistance. If the current bullish momentum is sustained, the next resistance at $205 is likely to be retested or broken. The breaking of the resistance at $205 is indispensable to the resumption of upside momentum. 

Now the LTC/USD pair will have an accelerated price movement on the upside. In the previous price action, the altcoin fell to $155 low and the price corrected upward but could not break the resistance at $205. The market dropped to the same low but was confined between $155 and $180 price levels. Today, the breakout at $180 resistance has compelled the market to rise. A retest of the $240 overhead resistance is likely if the next resistance is overcome. Conversely, if the LTC price fails to cross above $205 resistance, then we should expect a range-bound move between $155 and $205.
