The cryptocurrency live rates table shows the crypto having lost 0.21% of its value on the day. LTC is hovering above $60 after corrections above $61 failed to hold.

Immediate support is offered by the 100 Simple Moving Average (SMA) on the 4-hour chart. The ascending trendline is also ready to come to the rescue of the bulls. A slide below $60 could also seek refuge with $58 support. However, the major support for LTC/USD lies with $50 and $46.00 respectively.
