The Litecoin(LTC) sellers ended a four-week consolidation after they breached the $51 support on June 9th. The resulting fall plummeted the altcoin to $40 psychological support, but a rise in demand pressure stalls the selling momentum. Moreover, the bullish signal from the MACD indicator suggests a breakout of $51.

From Mid-May to early June, the crypto market witnessed high volatility and uncertainty among coin traders, causing LTC/USDT pair to consolidate in a narrow range. Thus, the coin price resonated between $75 and $61.2 for nearly four weeks.

However, amid the recent crypto crash, the LTC sellers breached range support($61.2) on June 9th. Later, the four consecutive red candles reflected the intense selling and depreciated the coin price by 34%. As a result, the coin price reached a new 2022 low of $40.

The crypto traders faced demand pressure below this psychological support and tried to ascend earlier this week. However, the buyers struggle to surpass the immediate resistance of $51.5.

Therefore, the LTC price is struck in a no-trading zone, and any new entries are better to wait for the $40 or $51 breakout.

Thus, a bullish breakout from the $51 mark would trigger a 20% relief rally to the $61.2 flipped resistance. Alternatively, a possible fallout from $40 support would sink the LTC price by 40% down to the March 2020 low of $25.
