    Litecoin (LTC) Returns to $50 After Being Rejected From Key Resistance

    Litecoin (LTC) is at risk of breaking below a short-term consolidation pattern, which could take it to a June low at $43.

    Descending resistance line

    LTC has been falling below descending resistance line since March 30. The decline fasten when this line rejected price on May 5 (red icon). After that, the downtrend led to price tumble as low as $40.30 on June 14, which is a new yearly low.

    While LTC price bounced after that, it was rejected by the horizontal resistance zone of ​​$56.50, which is very close to the aforementioned descending resistance line. LTC needs a breakout from both this line and zone to return to the uptrend.

    Trend reversal failed 

    The daily timeframe does not provide any indication of a possible bullish reversal. The two main reasons for this are the RSI being rejected by the 50 level (red icon) and the lack of bullish divergence (green line).

    Until the RSI moves above 50, there will be no uptrend. Due to its proximity to this line, a rise of the RSI above 50 is expected to help the price break above the descending resistance line and the $56.5 resistance zone.
