As CRYPTOWZRD suggests, trading above the $68 support could open the way for a test of the $80 resistance, but a retest of the $71.40 resistance and then a drop could provide a trading opportunity, and trading above the $75.20 level could initiate a rise.

Litecoin Intraday Volatility Follows Bitcoin

The intraday chart is still volatile. CRYPTOWZRD recommends that investors consider shorter time frames. What will happen in the future of Litecoin is strongly linked to the movement of Bitcoin. This makes the market sentiment a significant factor that will influence the future of LTC.
