Litecoin (LTC or Ł) is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency and open-source software project released under the MIT/X11 license. Litecoin was an early bitcoin spinoff or altcoin, starting in October 2011. In technical details, Litecoin is nearly identical to Bitcoin. Due to Litecoin’s use of the scrypt algorithm, FPGA and ASIC devices made for mining Litecoin are more complicated to create and more expensive to produce than they are for Bitcoin, which uses SHA-256. Let us look at the technical analysis for LTC.

Therefore, the overall market momentum seems bearish, and we can expect the LTC price to fall for the rest of the day. Also, if the price sustains above the support level for a day or two. Then, chances for an upside movement are high.
The RSI indicator is at 41%. It is forming a bearish divergence. Thus, indicating that the selling pressures are slowly mounting. Hence, we can expect the price to fall.
LTC Price Analysis
