The zoomed-out chart showed that the current price action was above the August 2022 range-high of $63. LTC chalked a range formation of $50.5 – $63 in August 2022. 

The recent weekly candlestick session (28 August – 3 September) closed above the range-high ($63), proving that bulls were willing to defend it further.

On the 4-hour chart, an H12 bearish order block (OB) exists near $68 and an immediate dynamic resistance level of 50-EMA (Exponential Moving Average) at $65. 

Since the mid-August extended price dump, LTC bulls have defended the August 2022 range-high of $63. But they were unable to go beyond $70. Besides, the H12 bearish OB and 50-EMA could derail bulls, too. 

So, LTC could extend its consolidation above the range-high ($63) in the next few hours/days. 

Conversely, a breach below $63 could set it to depreciate towards the mid-range of $57 or the confluence of the range-low ($50.5) and weekly bullish OB of $43 – $54.5 (cyan). 

Meanwhile, the H4 RSI hasn’t forayed above the 50-mark in early September; denoting buying pressure remained subdued. However, the CMF crossed zero, underscoring substantial capital inflows to LTC markets.

According to Mobchart, an order flow tracking platform, significant sell limit orders were placed at $66 (3.11k LTC) and $70 (3.26k LTC) on Binance Exchange’s spot market at press time. The levels fall between the H4 50-EMA and the H12 bearish OB and the recent high ($70). So, LTC could face difficulty clearing these hurdles. 

On the other hand, there were significant buy-limit orders at $60 (3.59k LTC), $55 (4.94k LTC), and $50 (4.74k LTC). So, LTC could see a rebound if it drops to these levels. 

But if BTC continues consolidating above $25k, LTC could take a cue and extend its price range above $60.
