The pair traded as low as $50.94 and it is currently consolidating losses. An initial resistance is near the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $58.06 high to $50.94 low.

It seems like there is a strong resistance formed near the $53.00 level and the 100 hourly SMA. Above this, the price may perhaps rise towards the $54.00 resistance and the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $58.06 high to $50.94 low.

On the downside, the $51.00 and $50.00 levels are important supports. Below these, there could be a sharp decline in litecoin price below the $48.00 level. However, the current price action indicates that the price may stay above $50.00 and it could recover above $53.00.
