Litecoin technical picture
The short-term technical picture is positive as long as the coin trades above $120.00 area. That’s where new buyers come in and push LTC price higher. However, a sustainable break above $125.00 is needed to create strong bullish momentum and let the coin escape from the narrow range. If $120.00 gives in, the above-mentioned trend line at $117.80 will come into focus with a further bearish target at $109.35 (May 29 low). On the upside, a clear move above $125.00 will extend the recovery towards $130.00
