Litecoin Price Action Analysis
Taking a look at the 1-hour chart, we see LTC still inside a rectangle pattern moving between the top and bottom. Yesterday, Litecoin touched the top at $185 and today fell as low as $170 at the bottom.
Currently, Litecoin price has had support at $170 and we can expect it to make another bullish run.
For the bullish scenario, the $175 and then the $178 to $180 near the 50% Fibonacci retracement level and the SMA100 will support the price. In case of a successful breakthrough from the $180, LTC will have a chance to reach the top at $185. In that case, the $190, $195 and $200 will be the next stops for LTC.
On The other hand, if Litecoin fails to surpass $175 and $180, it will likely dip to the bottom part of the pattern. For the bearish scenario, the $170 support at the bottom part is crucial to maintain. Further decline from that point would bring the price down to $165 and $160 zone.
