This past week, there was a sharp rally in , resulting in gains in most such as , , and against the US dollar. The LTC/USD pair formed a strong support base above the $72.00 level and rallied above the $80.00 resistance level.

It opened the doors for more gains above the $92.00 level.
The price traded to a new 2019 near the $95.95 level and recently started a
downside correction. It broke the $90.00 support, and the 23.6% Fib retracement
level of the last wave from the $72.49 low to $95.95 high.
However, the previous resistance near the $84.00 level acted
as a support. Besides, the 50% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the
$72.49 low to $95.95 high acted as a support.
At the outset, there is a key contracting triangle forming
with support near $84.50 on the 4-hour chart. If the price breaks the triangle
resistance near the $88.00 level, it is likely to resume its upside above the
$90.00 and $92.00 levels.
Conversely, if there are additional losses below the $84.50
and $84.00 support levels, price could revisit the main $80.00 and
$79.50 support levels. As long as LTC is above the $79.50 pivot level,
it remains in an uptrend and it is likely to break the $90.00 resistance once
again in the near term.
