LTC/USD daily chart
Litecoin recently climbed several barriers including $70 and $80. Although the focus was on $100, the high formed at $84 marked the end of the rally. The price has retreated to $72, besides the bulls are fighting to keep LTC above $70. The 50 SMA cross above the 100 SMA suggests that the buyers have not lost balance entirely as their influence is still present but lagging.
