Litecoin (LTC) price shows sigs of exhaustion after its recent upswing. If profit-taking turns into panic selling, then the chances of a steep correction are high for LTC holders.

Litecoin price in a tough position

Litecoin (LTC) price set up a range, extending from $57.69 to $70.69 between August 29 and September 11. Since the formation of this range, LTC has swept the range high and set up a local top at $72.89 on October 24. The subsequent profit-taking has pushed the altcoin back inside the range. 

As Litecoin price trades at $67.40, investors can expect a continuation of the pullback. On the 12-hour chart, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) which sits above 50 has a key role to play. A bounce off the mean level could hold the key to making or breaking LTC’s next move. 

A failure from bulls could trigger a breakdown of the RSI’s 50 level, which is likely to enforce a bearish outlook. In such a case, Litecoin price could slide lower and aim for the sell-side liquidity resting below the October 19 swing low of $59.70. But in an ideal rangebound scenario, LTC could sweep the range low of $57.69. 

This move would constitute a 15% descent and is likely where Litecoin price will consolidate before deciding on its next move.

While the rangebound bearish outlook makes logical sense, the correction is dependent on how the 12-hour RSI plays out. If there is a show of strong demand as RSI touches the 50 level, then investors can expect Litecoin price to attempt to flip the range high of $70.69. 

A decisive flip of this hurdle into a support floor will invalidate the bearish thesis. In such a case, Litecoin price could revisit the $82.25 hurdle after a 16% upswing.
