Litecoin’s price action on the 12-hour timeframe highlighted the importance of the $80 price level to bulls. Previously, it has served as a major rallying point for LTC after periods of intense selling pressure.
A look southward showed the $80 price level sparking a bullish run in early May and late June. Bulls will be hoping for a repeat of the same after a 35% price dip in July.
The on-chart indicators flashed encouraging signs. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) posted a bullish crossover and a few green bars above the zero mark. Similarly, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) made a notable push toward the neutral 50 mark, hinting at growing buy pressure.
However, the first obstacle in the way of bulls is the $85 resistance level. A session close above this level can see buyers target $90 – $95. On the flip side, a price rejection could see LTC fall into a range formation in the mid-term.
