Key Takeaways
Litecoin (LTC) follows an ascending trend line of support.
The LTC price failed to break out from a diagonal resistance.
Can Litecoin eventually break out, or is the market cycle over?
Litecoin has been struggling to gain momentum despite multiple attempts to break out.
Over the past months, LTC has tested a key diagonal resistance but failed to secure a decisive move higher.
Technical indicators now suggest caution as bearish signals start to emerge across timeframes.
With critical support levels being retested, the main question is whether Litecoin’s bullish cycle has run its course or if another push higher is still possible.
Litecoin seemed to break out last week, but failed to clear the $135 horizontal resistance area.
Instead, it created a bearish engulfing candlestick and briefly fell to a low of $52.71.
In the weekly time frame, this was the longest-ever lower wick length at 47%, surpassing the March 2020 “Covid” crash, which had a length of 33% (green icons).

Another essential factor to consider is that LTC has reached the long-term ascending support trend line that has been in place since June 2022.
Therefore, the bullish trend technically remains intact as long as Litecoin does not close below the trend line, which would provide bearish confirmation.
However, there is no support until Litecoin’s price hits the trend line at $70.
Momentum indicators are gradually turning bearish. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is below 50, and the Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) made a bearish cross (black circle).
Hence, a Litecoin breakout is unlikely. Examining a lower time frame is necessary to determine whether the LTC price will fall to $70 or if it will find support above this level.
Is Litecoin Bullish or Bearish?
The long-term chart does offer some hope that the Litecoin trend is bullish, although more confirmation is needed if this is indeed the case, as the count is close to being invalidated.
The remaining bullish count suggests that the Litecoin price completed wave E of an A-B-C-D-E (red) in a massive, seven-year symmetrical triangle pattern.
Although Litecoin has closed above its main horizontal support area at ₿0.00080, the trend of lower highs is concerning.
While the bullish divergences in the RSI and MACD are positive signs, they have failed to initiate upward movements in the past, reducing the likelihood that they will do so in the future.
If Litecoin breaks down below ₿0.00080, another massive bearish trend could follow.
Mixed Signs for 2025
Litecoin’s price action is at a decisive crossroads, as the long-term support remains bullish, but momentum is turning increasingly bearish.
A breakdown below the current channel could trigger a deeper correction, possibly retesting bear market lows.
On the other hand, if LTC manages to hold support and consolidate, a breakout toward $300 remains possible.
The coming weeks will reveal whether Litecoin can reclaim bullish momentum or confirm the end of its cycle.
