Litecoin (LTC/USD) weakened early in today’s Asian session as the pair receded to the 57.12 level after being capped around the 58.19 area during yesterday’s North American session, a level that was right around the 50-bar MA (hourly) at the time. The pair’s recent climb has seen price activity recently hover around the psychologically-important 60.00 figure following a recent high print around the 63.17 level, right around the 38.2% retracement of the move from 107.04 to 35.88. Another important level that is impacting price is the depreciation from the 80.26 level to the 35.88 area. Bids recently emerged around the 58.07 level, representing the 50% retracement of this range, and this led to a move back above the 60.00 figure.

Following the pair’s recent climb to the 63.17 area, a new series of levels has taken on greater technical importance including the 56.73 level, representing the 23.6% retracement of that range, followed by the 52.75 and 49.53 areas, representing the 38.2% and 50% retracements of the range. Chartists have noted that even though the pair has recently traded above the 50-bar MA (hourly), price activity has moved below and has recently tested the 100-bar MA (hourly).
