Litecoin is consolidating around the $89 level after dropping $6.32 at the start of the trading session.
Litecoin made an initial break below its 50 day Simple Moving Average at $92.85, a possible indication of a forthcoming negative trend. Price action remains constrained around the key Fibonacci level of $86.8 currently serving as support. If price action breaks below, the next Fib hurdle is $82.6. Despite this, Litecoin's lower Bollinger Band® is at $87.86, indicating that the asset has overextended to the downside and could, therefore, bounce back as buyers look for bargains. Litecoin bounced after reaching the $86.41 support zone, climbing $2.57 above it.
Overall, looking at the technical analysis landscape, it seems that although indicators are mixed and some are pointing in different directions further drawbacks may be next for LTC.
