Litecoin Price Analysis

This past week, there was a bearish reaction in bitcoin, Ethereum, ripple, and litecoin against the US Dollar. LTC price declined below the $40.50 support level, but it remained well bid above the $39.50 and $38.00 support levels.

A low is formed near $39.54 and the price is currently rising. It surpassed the $41.00 resistance area and the 55 simple moving average (4-hours). Besides, there was a break above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $44.53 high to $39.54 low.

However, it is currently facing hurdles near the $42.00 and $42.05 levels. The 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $44.53 high to $39.54 low is also acting as a strong resistance.
