Litecoin price has been rejected from the $200 price level after attempting to make a recovery back to the $200 price level. LTC has broken down to the $175.00 price level, with the buyers defending the support across the short term.
Litecoin price climbed to highs of $240 on February 20 but failed to cross above the price level.

While making a recovery, the buyers faced resistance at the $180 level, which was overcome after a brief struggle, and at the $200 level, which caused the Litecoin price to spiral downwards once again.

What to expect from Litecoin price?
Traders should expect Litecoin price to decline towards the $150 mark as the price action struggles in finding a strong support level. The weak bullish momentum and the negative technical analyses only contribute to this prediction. Trades can expect the price to breakdown to the $150.00 mark with a potential drop to the $125 mark before the price can rise to challenge $225.
Conversely, if the buyers successfully defend the $175.00 support, LTC may charge at $200. However, the low momentum would only result in another rejection at the level, causing the price to fall to $150.
