Litecoin price analysis

Litecoin is starting to correct lower, after the eighth largest cryptocurrency by market capitalisation recently hit a multimonth trading high around the $69 level.

Litecoin price analysis shows that the cryptocurrency could start a corrective drop towards the $50 support area if the price holds under the $62.50 level.

Litecoin medium-term price trend

Litecoin is starting to appear more bullish over the medium term, following the recent breakout rally towards the $69 level.

Litecoin technical analysis shows that the LTC/USD pair may need to correct lower before the next major push towards the $80 level commences.

Litecoin technical analysis

The daily time frame shows that major trendline resistance around the $62.50 level is acting as a key medium-term pivot for traders.

Technical analysis shows that the important trendline around the $62.50 level is formed by attaching the August 2019 swing high to the current 2020 trading high, around the $84.50 level.

Weakness under the $62.50 level could cause a decline back towards the $56 and, possibly, $50 areas.
