The price of Litecoin (LTC) is in a sideways movement as the cryptocurrency reaches a high of $110 at press time. The cryptocurrency is trading between $98 and $116.
Litecoin seems to be consolidating in the middle of the price range. Moreover, the price action is dominated by small indecisive candlesticks called doji and spinning tops. These candlesticks suggest that sellers and buyers are indifferent to the direction of the market. It is likely that LTC/USD will remain in a trading range for more days. If buyers push LTC prices above $116, the market will rise to a high of $140. Litecoin has fallen into oversold territory at $96. Further downward movement is doubtful.
