Litecoin Recovers but Struggles to Break the Resistance at $156 High
Jan 15, 2021 at 12:15 //
NewsLitecoin's bullish run has suffered a setback as price was repelled at the $156 high. Today, LTC is falling because of the rejection at the recent high.
The coin has retraced and it is consolidating above the $148 support level. The crypto is likely to resume the upside momentum if the current support holds. In the same vein, on January 5, Litecoin consolidated above the current support when the altcoin faced rejection at the $170 resistance.
The resultant uptrend broke the resistance at $170 after two attempts. Today, the market is expected to move up after the consolidation above the current support. However, this bullish scenario will be invalidated if the bears break below the current support level. Litecoin will continue the downward move if the current support fails to hold.
