Litecoin Price AnalysisRecently, we discussed the chances of litecoin price testing the $40.00 resistance against the US dollar. The LTC/USD pair did move higher, but it failed to move past the $37.00 resistance.
Looking at the chart, LTC price formed a top near the $36.73 level and later started a downside correction. It declined sharply and broke the $35.00 support level. There was also a close below the $32.00 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average.
The price traded close to the $30.00 level where buyers emerged. A low was formed at $26.69 and later the price starting moving higher. It broke the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $36.73 high to $26.69 low.
Moreover, there was a break above a short term channel with resistance at $31.00 on the hourly chart. It has cleared the path for a push towards the $33.00 level and the 100 hourly SMA.
The next major resistance is near $33.20 and the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $36.73 high to $26.69 low. If there is a break above the $33.00 and $34.00 resistance levels, there could be a solid upward move in the near term.
