AMBcrypto’s analysis indicated that LTC was struggling to build an uptrend swing. The prices were facing massive pressure, with a local low support level of around $70.89 and a resistance level of 80.29.
With the continued price consolidation, the price is positioned to go below the $70.89 support level.
The market pressure is pushing prices down, and if such a downtrend holds, the new support level will fall to around $63.46.
However, the 121% surge in trading volume showed that bears were attempting to retain the current prices, resulting in consolidation.

The RSI was at 29.52, and RSI-based MA was at 40.70. When RSI-based MA goes below its MLA, it showed a strong bearish trend. The RSI falling below 30 means LTC Is in oversold territory.
The oversold territory is typically a sign of reversal, where the price can bounce back in the near future. An oversold territory allows buying opportunities as prices recover from oversold conditions.
