At the time of writing, Litecoin’s market capitalization stands at 3.3 billion US dollars with a trading volume of 217.5 million US dollars in the last 24-hours.

When it comes to predicting the value of the coin, many crypto experts are of the opinion that Litecoin (LTC) is going to reach a price value of 600 US dollars or more before this year ends. At present, when you compare the virtual currencies in the market, you will see that Litecoin is doing a very good job of maintaining a good position among the many digital currencies.

Not too long ago, the virtual currency declined in value drastically against the US dollar and found a new support level that is close to the 49 US dollar mark. Shortly afterward, Litecoin (LTC) started an upward trend and corrected over 52 and 54 US dollar mark.

As you look at Litecoin performance chart, you will see the price value of the virtual token bids close to the 50 US dollar mark, a connecting support trendline. Litecoin’s price managed to keep a brave fight that led to its higher price surge that broke the resistance level at 54 and 55 US dollars respectively. The most recent price surge was positive as the digital coin exchanges hands over the 50% Fibo Retracement level of the prior swing that was of a high of 60.6 US dollars to the low of 49 US dollars.

Nevertheless, the price value of the virtual asset is currently capped on the upper side of the 57 and 60 US dollar levels. The 61.8% Fibo Retracement level and the 100-hourly SMA of the prior swing of the high of 60.6 US dollars and a low of 49 US dollars is close to the 58 US dollar mark.

Overall, there is another major hurdle Litecoin will have to jump that is close to the 60 US dollar mark. If Litecoin manages to appreciate over the 58 US dollar level, it will need to break the 60 US dollar level to correct further. Consequently, Litecoin has to maintain its immediate support level of 55 US dollars to avoid further declines.
