Litecoin price minor reaction to the golden cross pattern stalls at $80 leaving the recent highs at $84.60 untested.

The rejection at $80 sends LTC/USD downwards at $76.23 (market value). Continued downward correction s expected to last throughout the European session on Monday.

Litecoin price digs deeper into the Bollinger Band lower curve amid high volatility and a stronger bearish grip. If the short term trendline support gives in, there is a chance the price would slide back to the support at $65.

The downward movement is, however, likely to encourage more buyers to enter the market, in turn, pushing Litecoin towards $85 (medium-term resistance).
