Litecoin’s technical picture
From the technical point of view, LTC/USD managed to climb above both 50 and 100-SMA (1-hour chart), now at $74.55 and $75.50 respectively, which makes the short-term picture look bullish. The next target is set at $78.00, as this handle capped the recovery attempts in the first days of August. A 200-SMA at 78.20 will add credibility to the resistance. It it is cleared, the upside may be extended towards psychological $80.00
If the above said support levels, created by 50 and 100-SMAs, give way, the price might slip to $73.80 (former 2018 low) and continue its trip to the South with the next goal set at $72.14 (Saturday’s low).
