What to expect from Litecoin price?
Litecoin price appeared to be breaking out of its ascending channel before the recent retracement. However, now that LTC is back inside the channel, traders can expect Litecoin price to continue its steady bullish momentum after a brief consolidation at the $280 mark.
Traders can expect to see a little volatility in the next few days as the price may fall to the $260.00 mark. However, further downwards movement is unlikely given the bullish sentiment in the markets and the positive technical analyses.
If buyers continue defending the channel’s bottom line, Litecoin price may break past the $300 mark in the next few days.
