LTC/USD Price Chart, Wednesday October 24th:

Is $100 Possible Before End Of Year?

At the time of press, Litecoin is trading at $52.38, in the last 24 hours the coin has seen a slight drop of 0.03%. This signifies sideways action, where neither demand nor supply is higher than the other. For this to change- for the positive, the project requires a positive trigger that will increase demand and in turn prices.

For us to evaluate if Litecoin could still hit highs of $100, we must look back at the last time the coin was trading around this position. Litecoin dropped below $100 in mid-June, around the same time there was a general market dip. After the dip, the bulls tried to support the price above $90 but failed each time. By September, prices had dropped below $60. Each bullish rally ever since has been a struggle.

The new prices are currently the coins year low and it is likely that it has found support at this level. It is unlikely that prices will drop past $50, and in the case, they do, it will spell doom for the coin.

The bulls will be looking for the next positive momentum to push prices above $60, this remains a crucial resistance level and one that has the potential to push prices to $75.

However, going past $75 will require something special. The bears are still in play and to go past $75 will require a market push from Litecoin’s big brother, Bitcoin- which has proven to move the market as a whole.
