The bollinger bands are confirming what resembles a triangle pattern in the coin’s price movement, and LTC in the short term could fluctuate between $157 and $159. However, the candlestick patterns and MACD lines are giving a bearish signal, taking LTC toward the bottom of that price range.

The interesting part is whETHer LTC will break above $160 once again, as that is required for it to return to its two-week high near $170. For now, that’s unlikely to happen without a bullish signal.

Looking at the Technical Indicators:

Bollinger Bands — Weak bearish signal
MACD — LTC is currently in a bearish zone
Major Support Level — $156
Major Resistance Level — $160
