Just a few days back, Litecoin (LTC) attempted to break the resistance level of 85 USD. Nevertheless, the rally was not strong enough to provide all the support it needed. Soon the price of Litecoin (LTC) declined and fell towards the $74 support area. The downward trend continued, and price finally plunged below the $75 support zone. But since then, Litecoin price has recovered gradually and is now trading around the $76 level. Additionally, there is an immediate support $74 level. If the current bullish trend follows in the coming days, the crypto may see fresh support $80 level. Then the next hurdle would be $85 resistance level. Any further beak over this level will pave the way for more gains and Litecoin (LTC)’s price prediction for the end of 2019 will likely be attained in the coming month.
