Litecoin's technical picture
From the intraday perspective, we will need to see a sustainable recovery above SMA50 (Simple Moving Average) 4-hour on approach to $47.00 to mitigate the immediate bearish pressure and allow for an extended upside move. The next resistance is created by $49.50 ( the upper line of 4-hour Bollinger Band) and psychological $50.00 above this handle for the upside to gain traction.
On the downside, a sharp decline towards the intraday low of $45.25 will signal that the bearish trend is resumed and bring November 25 low of $42.35 back into focus. This area is likely to slow down the sell-off; however, once it is cleared, a psychological $40.00 will come into focus.
