Litecoin spiked considerably yesterday and tested the key resistance at $60.00. However, the bulls lost momentum slightly above $58.00 resulting in a retreat into the rising channel. The crypto has maintained higher trading levels in the wake of the overarching declines mid-last week.
The price is currently sitting comfortably above the 50% Fib retracement level between the last upward move at $58.45 and a downward move at $50.17. LTC/USD is dancing with the 38.2% Fib level at $54.92 while the upside has been cut short by the resistance at $56.00. On the flipside Litecoin will find a support at the 50SMA currently at $54.28 and the 100SMA at $53.75 (hourly chart). The rising channel support will provide additional support in the event a reversal extends towards $50.00.
