As seen on the chart above, LTC price has been in a consolidation phase after crashing to $52. While this is not the lowest that LTC has reached since the start of 2022, things are now more optimistic for LTC fans.

With today’s 8.1% increase, LTC is now trading above the 50-day and 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMAs). LTC bulls need to retake the $60 territory and flip it into support, as there are a lot of sell orders at this level.

Conversely, if the bears prevail this time around, LTC may find itself back at around $50-$52. This is also a strong support zone. In addition, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicates that LTC is almost oversold already.

Regardless, fans believe that the bottom is already in for the altcoin.

For a better perspective, LTC fell to as low as $40 this year, sometime this June. This is also the time when most cryptocurrencies suffered their greatest losses.
