Litecoin Price Smashes Key Resistance

In the past two days, there was a fresh increase in bitcoin, Ethereum, ripple and litecoin against the US Dollar. LTC price formed a decent support base near the $70.00 level before starting a fresh increase.

The price climbed above the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $92.69 swing high to $69.88 swing low.

A successful break above the $84.00 and $85.00 resistance levels could initiate a fresh increase. The next major resistance is near the $90.00 level, above which the bulls could aim a test of $95.00.

Dips Supported in LTC?
