Litecoin’s technical picture
Looking technically, LTC/USD jumped above SMA50 (Simple Moving Average) on the daily chart at $58.90 and cleared psychological $60.00, which bodes well for LTC bulls. If the coin manages to settle above this area, the long-term picture will improve significantly. The next resistance is created by the upper line of the daily Bollinger Band at $62.40. Once it is broken, the recovery is likely to gain traction with the next focus on the recent top of $64.10, followed by a psychological $65.00.
On the downside, the initial support created by $60.00 and the above-mentioned SMA50 daily. It is followed by $57.80 – an upper boundary of the broken consolidation range that limited LTC movements for the best part of October. A sustainable move below this handle will open up the way towards $52.80 back in focus.
