Trend Change
There was a bullish trend line formed on the 4-hours chart of Litecoin price chart, which was breached by sellers after the price failed around $5.50. If this turns out to be a real break, then we might witness a down-move in the near term. The price has just settled below the 100 simple moving average, which is a negative sign and could increase the bearish pressure. We need to see whether sellers manage to gather pace, as there are many signals for more losses moving ahead.
