Litecoin Sideway Market – What to Expect Next

From a technical standpoint, immediate support is $83.5. Furthermore, Litecoin is below the descending trendline (in black in the image above), and the awesome oscillator bars are red below the signal line. The recent selling pressure, which began on May 21, will likely extend to the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level at $79.7 if the bears maintain their position below the descending trendline at about $85.

Important Notice: The $79.7 is a robust support area because it is backed by the ascending trendline (shown in the daily chart). Litecoin also bounced more than eight times in May from $79.7. That said, analysts at FxNews suggest monitoring this supply zone if the price dips to this level.

Immediate resistance is the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level at $85.8. The bearish outlook should be invalidated if the bulls cross and stabilize the price above the immediate resistance. If this scenario comes into play, the new bullish wave could target the upper band of the bullish flag at $95.5, a resistance backed by 61.8% Fibonacci.
