Litecoin price is gaining pace above the $100 zone against the US Dollar. LTC could rise further if there is a clear move above the $105 resistance zone.

This past week, Litecoin’s price formed a support base above the $95 level against the US Dollar. LTC price started a steady increase above the $98 resistance zone, similar to Bitcoin and Ethereum.

The bulls were able to push the price above the $100 resistance. A high is formed near $102.90 and the price is now consolidating gains. It is trading well above $98 and the 100 simple moving average (4 hours). There is also a key bullish trend line forming with support near $100 on the 4-hour chart of the LTC/USD pair. The trend line is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $97.35 swing low to the $102.90 high.

On the upside, immediate resistance is near the $103 zone. The next major resistance is near the $105 level. If there is a clear break above the $105 resistance, the price could start another strong increase.

In the stated case, the price is likely to continue higher toward the $112 and $115 levels. Any more gains might send LTC’s price toward the $120 resistance zone.

If Litecoin price fails to clear the $105 resistance level, there could be a downside correction. Initial support on the downside is near the $100 level and the trend line.

The next major support is forming near the $98 level or the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $97.35 swing low to the $102.90 high, below which there is a risk of a move toward the $95 support. Any further losses may perhaps send the price toward the $92 support.
