On the upside, immediate resistance is near the $93 zone. The next major resistance is near the $95 level. If there is a clear break above the $95 resistance, the price could start another strong increase. In the stated case, the price is likely to continue higher toward the $100 and $105 levels. Any more gains might send LTC’s price toward the $112 resistance zone.

Fresh Decline in LTC?

If Litecoin price fails to clear the $95 resistance level, there could be a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $91 level and the triangle lower trend line.

The next major support is forming near the $85 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $5.26 swing low to the $95.00 high, below which there is a risk of a move toward the $80 support. Any further losses may perhaps send the price toward the $75 support.
