Litecoin Price is Surging
In the last technical analysis, we discussed why litecoin could surge above $65.00 against the US Dollar. LTC price did gain momentum and broke many hurdles near $64.00 and $65.00.
The recent upward move was such that the price broke the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $66.60 swing high to $61.07 swing low. Recently, bitcoin and ETH corrected lower, but litecoin remained well bid above the $65.00 level.
The price is now trading nicely above the $66.00 level and the 100 simple moving average (4-hours). There is also a major bullish trend line forming with support near $63.00 on the 4-hours chart of the LTC/USD pair.
