Litecoin price analysis: LTC/USD re-ignites the fire, Charlie Lee comments TokenPay partnership and Robinhood listing

• The moving averages will prevent declines above the much stronger support area at $76.00.
• “The Robinhood interface is really slick. This is a great easy way to get exposure to LTC price movements”¦” Lee shared his excitement on Twitter.

Litecoin price has come under heavy beating following this week’s selloff. LTC/USD has tested the support at $72.00 in the same month. Consequently, as the week comes to halt, investors can see a shade of green return on the charts. The price is correcting marginally upwards today but the momentum is still too  weak to retest the resistance at $80.00.

Significantly, the crypto is settling within a falling wedge pattern as seen on the chart below. Higher consolidation is expected as well while a breakout past the $80.00 resistance could occur in the near-term. There will be more resistance from the trendline, but the MCAD is advancing into the positive levels to show that buying power is rising. On the downside, the 23.6% Fib retracement level with the last swing high of $85.11 and a low of $74.56 is offering short-term support slightly above $77.00. The moving averages will prevent declines above the much stronger support area at $76.00.
