Litecoin Defends $60 Support Amid Sustained Bearish Momentum

-

Litecoin (LTC) continues to trade under significant bearish pressure, defending a key support zone between $50 and $60. Technical analysis indicates the asset remains below all major moving averages, with momentum indicators like the MACD confirming sustained downside momentum. Some analysts observe potential long-term accumulation at current levels despite the prevailing downtrend.


Litecoin is trading near critical support as bearish momentum dominates market activity. As of Saturday, January 31, LTC hovered around $63 with the $50–$60 range identified as a key area of buyer interest.

Analyst Crypto Patel noted that sustained consolidation in the $60 region often reflects long-term positioning. “Such phases typically emerge during extended corrective cycles, when selling pressure weakens and investors with longer horizons gradually build exposure.”

The weekly chart shows LTC trading below its 20, 50, 100, and 200 exponential moving averages. This EMA cluster between $85 and $92 now acts as a significant resistance zone for any upward price movement.

Bollinger Bands are expanding to the downside, signaling increased volatility and continued selling pressure. LTC is trading near the lower band, indicating persistent weakness with immediate support near $58.

The Relative Strength Index sits near 33, placing LTC in an oversold condition that reflects high bearish momentum. No bullish divergence is currently present, suggesting buying pressure has yet to materialize.

The MACD indicator remains firmly in bearish territory with its line well below the signal line. Expanding red histogram bars confirm that downward momentum is strengthening rather than consolidating.

Some market participants maintain speculative long-term optimism for LTC. Crypto Patel has outlined potential upside scenarios ranging between $500 and $1,000 contingent on broader market recovery.

These projections are based on historical market cycles rather than short-term expectations. For now, technical indicators suggest the bearish bias remains intact until momentum shows signs of reversal.
