LTC Price Can’t Keep The Pace Any Longer: Crypto Analyst

The LTC price was one of the best achievers in 2019 after it managed to increase up to a stunning 162 percent since 2018. In our coming altcoin news, we find out that the strong pace of the cryptocurrency, cannot be maintained any longer, at least that is what one crypto analyst believes.

Binance coin was the only one to outperform the LTC price among the rest of the larger-cap crypto assets and Litecoin’s 2019 rally surpassed the price of bitcoin by at least 40 percent leaving the number one cryptocurrency behind. However, it seems that the sixth-largest cryptocurrency is approaching a sell-off period.

Crypto brokerage BitOoda posted a note to clients saying that a downward trend is at the phase of creating on the Litecoin chart. This suggests that the LTC price could be on a short-term breakdown territory. The sell-off could cause the value of the altcoin to crash below the $75 support line.

Brian Donovan, the EVP of BitOoda explained:

 “We have seen a downward wedge forming over the last week or so. We look for potential breakdown of that $75 near-term support.”

While the analysis from Donovan suggests that traders might want to take advantage of the short-term profits, the litecoin price breakdown does not mean that the altcoin will be weak in the long-term. It only shows that the LTC price will be up for a healthy retracement since its value surged by more than 350 percent after the bear market low at $22. Donovan continued:

 “LTC has rallied from the lows of last December from ~$22 roughly 350%. A short-term retracement would not at all be unlikely NOR would it be a bad sign for the token. Healthy pullbacks can and should occur in an asset that rallies this hard, this fast.”

However, as some of the best cryptocurrency news sites show, not all analysts are convinced that the litecoin support level will reach a breakdown point. The Rhythm Trader posted on Twitter explaining a more bullish scenario. He stated that if the volume is rushed to defending the support level, the LTC price could reach a triple-digit territory:

 “If $LTC shows a little volume here, this could get really interesting with a break of $100 quick if this support holds.”
