Litecoin Price Forecast: Strong resistance to stem bullish rally?

  • Litecoin is currently in the midst of a bullish rally.
  • As per the detector, there are two strong resistance walls at $62 and $63.35.

Litecoin has been on a bullish rally, as it went up from $38 to $61.50 over the last three days.  However, the top 10 cryptocurrency currently faces strong resistance upfront. Let’s see how far the price will go.

LTC faces strong resistance

During the latest bullish rally, the buyers flipped the $59.30 line from resistance to support. Looking at the price history, this is one of the more prominent levels so it should be robust enough to stem any downflow.
