In the analyst’s opinion, the cryptocurrency is to rise towards the $154 level after its current drop to the $140 mark. Per the Litecoin price prediction, the altcoin will see a bounce near the ascending trend line highlighted by the analyst, and then it will test the flat resistance at $154.50. A break above this resistance will allow the cryptocurrency to go long towards the $178 mark.
Below the main ascending trend line lies the bearish-continuation-zone that the LTC price will fall to if it crashed below the support here.
