The price has been trading in a range between the $60.00 and $70.00 levels for the past few days, indicating a lack of momentum. A break below the $60.00 support could push Litecoin price lower towards the $55.00 and $50.00 levels.
On the upside, an initial resistance is near the $70.00 level. The bears are likely to put up a strong fight near the $72.00 and $73.00 resistance levels. If the price fails to clear the $72.00 resistance, it could start a fresh decline.

Looking at the chart, Litecoin price is clearly trading in a bearish zone below the $72.00 and $73.00 resistance levels. To start a strong upward move, the bulls need to gain strength above the $73.00 resistance.

On the other hand, if the bulls succeed in pushing the price above the $73.00 level, it could start a strong rally towards the $80.00 resistance area.
