LTC/USD, the technical picture
Looking technically, LTC/USD created a top at $64.10 on October 26 only to retreat back inside the range limited by $60.70 on the upside. This resistance is created by SMA50 (Simple Moving Average) and the upper line of a Bollinger Band on a daily chart. Once it is out of the way, the upside is likely to gain traction with the next focus on the recent top, followed by a psychological $65.00.
On the downside, the strong support created by $55.60 (the lower line of the Bollinger Band on a daily chart) may slow down the sellers. A sustainable move below this handle will bring $52.80 back in focus. This area served as a lower boundary of a consolidation range through October. The next support is created by a psychological $50.00. A sustainable move lower will take the price towards March 2019 consolidation zone of $44.00-$45.00.
