Key Takeaways
Litecoin is again testing investor patience as it struggles to break through the long-standing $135 resistance level.
Despite several attempts, each rally has been rejected, raising questions about whether LTC can finally reverse its bearish structure.
With momentum indicators flashing weakness, the coming weeks could determine if a turning point is approaching.
Since May 22, the LTC price has increased alongside an ascending support trend line. It bounced at the trend line several times (green icons), most recently in April.
Despite all these bounces, Litecoin failed to break out from the $135 resistance area, which has stymied all attempts at upward movements since the start of 2022.
Litecoin made another unsuccessful breakout attempt in August and fell for three consecutive weeks before regaining its footing.
Even though LTC has made several breakout attempts, each time it has done that, it has also created lower highs, a sign of weakening momentum that can lead to a bearish trend reversal if it continues.
Adding to the uncertainty, momentum indicators are showing weakness. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is below 50, while the Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) is close to making a bearish cross.

So, Litecoin’s future trend is still undetermined. If the price breaks above $135, a massive rally toward $280 could begin.
However, if that does not happen, Litecoin’s price could correct toward the ascending support trend line at $70.
Analyzing lower time frames is needed to determine if that will happen.
The daily time frame technical analysis shows that the LTC price has been trading inside an ascending wedge since April and broke down in August.
Litecoin completed a five-wave upward movement inside the wedge and has been completing an A-B-C correction since the breakdown.
If this is the correct count, LTC is in the B wave of an A-B-C correction, which could end near $98.90.

While this is a preliminary target, a more accurate one can be determined once the LTC price completes wave B.
The declining RSI and MACD both suggest that this scenario is likely since they are declining and below their bearish thresholds.
Litecoin’s inability to clear $135 makes its short-term future uncertain, with more downside risk still on the table.
A breakdown toward $70 remains possible unless a decisive breakout sparks a rally toward $280.
September may be key, as the upcoming Fed rate cuts could bring back volatility in the market.
