The volatility in Litecoin price reflects that of the entire cryptocurrency market. This makes long-term investments a challenge for investors.

The status quo in terms of Litecoin performance is bullish in the short-term but bearish in the long-term. A break above the year-long trendline resistance could see the crypto revamp the trend towards $100. In the meantime, the support at $50.00 must be defended to prevent deflation into the $40 range.
