Daily LTC/USDT chart | Source: TradingView If the lower trendline is maintained as support, LTC could continue its recovery toward the weekly resistance at $77.19, close to the 50-day EMA at $77.39. The daily RSI is at 34 and trending upward after reaching oversold territory, indicating selling pressure is weakening and early signs of recovery are emerging. However, for a solid rebound, the RSI needs to break above the neutral level of 50. Meanwhile, the MACD is converging with shrinking red histograms below zero, further strengthening LTC’s potential to bounce back.
Conversely, if LTC faces selling pressure, the next weekly support zone is expected around $56.
