• Litecoin looks to have fallen below the higher low trendline in what technical traders call an ascending triangle pattern.
• The $200 level has been an area Litecoin struggles to cross above, and this price level will likely continue to hold as resistance for a time longer. The higher low trendline was holding as support, but as this trendline was broken the crypto could see a bearish push before rebounding.
• The crypto trades below both the 50-day moving average (green) and the 200-day moving average (blue), indicating sentiment in the crypto looks to have turned bearish.
• Each of these moving averages may hold as a possible area of resistance in the future.
• The Relative Strength Index (RSI) saw a dip lower and moved to 37. This shows that there has been an increased amount of selling pressure moving into the crypto. The crypto is nearing the oversold area starting at 30.
