Litecoin price long term forecast: bearish

The price indicator had previously predicted that the altcoin will fall and reach a low of $77. At the time of writing, LTC/USD is trading at $84 per coin. On the negative side, Litecoin‘s run to the top has come to a halt. On August 3, the altcoin hit a low of $80 and continued to consolidate. On August 7, LTC hit a low of 79 and then recovered.

The cryptocurrency asset has regained its upward momentum and is approaching the $92 threshold. If it breaks the moving average lines or resistance at $92 to the upside, the altcoin will reach a high of $104. A sideways trend, on the other hand, will begin if it does not break above the moving average lines.
