Litecoin Price Prediction – Litecoin’s Price Would Likely Face Resistance at $45
According to the statistical data offered by Intotheblock, no less than 14% of user addresses on LTC are in the money. At Litecoin’s current price and considering the cluster of over 157000 addresses on the network (plus over 2.48 million LTC), if the coin’s price fails to move to the $45.00 resistance, the addresses won’t reach a break-even point. The only way for them to reach the break-even point is if the digital asset manages to reach the $45.00 area. This particular area will likely serve as a resistance position for the LTC/USD pair. After this position, the next likely zone for the trading pair to reach will be the $50.00 barrier. Going by the current metrics, this getting to this position might seem difficult.
Litecoin News Today – How Does LTC/USD Technical Picture Look?
Looking at the intraday charts for the LTC/USD trading pair, we can see that LTC recovered from the lows it set two sessions ago on Monday. These lows were at $39.53. The coin beat this and managed to enter the psychological area of $40.00 and above. However, the LTC price stayed under the 4-hour SMA at $40.89. This is a critical barrier for the digital asset. It will be a point as the coin makes its way to reach the intraday high. This will be at $41.0 and the 4-hour SMA at $41.70. If there is a sustainable move above the barrier mentioned above, it will allow the coin to post an extended recovery to reach the $42.75 and $45.00 levels via the daily chart. Looking at the downside, we can find initial support at $40.00. The recent low was at $39.53. If this point is broken, the sell-off might extend to the lower line of the Bollinger Band at the $38.14 point. This area will likely slow down the bulls.
