Litecoin’s bullish momentum has cooled off, with the price sliding back to $97.8 after struggling to sustain its recent uptrend. The pullback comes amid increasing selling pressure, raising concerns about whether this is a temporary correction or the start of a deeper decline. While LTC previously showed strength, the inability to maintain higher levels suggests that market sentiment is shifting, leaving traders questioning the coin’s next move.
As the price approaches key support levels, traders are closely monitoring market signals to determine the next move. Will buyers step in to defend LTC and spark a rebound, or will bearish pressure push the price even lower?
Litecoin Drop To $97.8: What Triggered The Pullback?
Litecoin’s retreat to $97.8 comes after failing to sustain its recent uptrend, as increasing selling pressure drove the price lower. After an initial push higher, LTC encountered strong resistance at the $113 key level, preventing further gains and triggering a pullback. This resistance rejection prompted profit-taking among traders, as many opted to secure gains rather than hold through potential volatility.
Moreover, the decline in buying momentum played a crucial role in the price drop. As bullish enthusiasm faded, buyers struggled to maintain control, allowing sellers to take over. The weakening demand led to increased downward pressure, accelerating Litecoin’s descent toward the $97.8 support level.
Broader market uncertainty also contributed to the downturn. A combination of external factors, including macroeconomic conditions and Bitcoin’s price action, likely influenced traders’ risk appetite, leading to a cautious approach toward altcoins like LTC.
Technical indicators also experienced a drop below average, prompting a correction as traders reassessed their positions. If Litecoin fails to hold above $97.8, further downside could be expected. However, a possible recovery may be on the horizon if buyers step in at this level.
Potential Scenarios: Rebound Or Further Decline?
The Litecoin price movement around the $97.8 level will be crucial in determining its next direction. Two possible scenarios could unfold—a strong rebound if buyers regain control or a deeper decline if selling pressure persists.
In a bullish scenario where LTC manages to hold above $97.8, buyers could step in, driving the price toward immediate resistance levels. A successful rebound might push Litecoin back above $113, with the next target being $131.6. After this, bullish momentum may grow, paving the way for a rally to $146.
However, in a bearish scenario where Litecoin fails to hold above $97.8, the price could face additional downside pressure. Breaking below this key support hints at a decline toward $89.7 and $76.8, and even lower support zones, making it critical for bulls to defend key levels.

My name is Godspower Owie, and I was born and brought up in Edo State, Nigeria. I grew up with my three siblings who have always been my idols and mentors, helping me to grow and understand the way of life.
My parents are literally the backbone of my story. They’ve always supported me in good and bad times and never for once left my side whenever I feel lost in this world. Honestly, having such amazing parents makes you feel safe and secure, and I won’t trade them for anything else in this world.
I was exposed to the cryptocurrency world 3 years ago and got so interested in knowing so much about it. It all started when a friend of mine invested in a crypto asset, which he yielded massive gains from his investments.
When I confronted him about cryptocurrency he explained his journey so far in the field. It was impressive getting to know about his consistency and dedication in the space despite the risks involved, and these are the major reasons why I got so interested in cryptocurrency.
Trust me, I’ve had my share of experience with the ups and downs in the market but I never for once lost the passion to grow in the field. This is because I believe growth leads to excellence and that’s my goal in the field. And today, I am an employee of Bitcoinnist and NewsBTC news outlets.
My Bosses and co-workers are the best kinds of people I have ever worked with, in and outside the crypto landscape. I intend to give my all working alongside my amazing colleagues for the growth of these companies.
Sometimes I like to picture myself as an explorer, this is because I like visiting new places, I like learning new things (useful things to be precise), I like meeting new people – people who make an impact in my life no matter how little it is.
One of the things I love and enjoy doing the most is football. It will remain my favorite outdoor activity, probably because I’m so good at it. I am also very good at singing, dancing, acting, fashion and others.
I cherish my time, work, family, and loved ones. I mean, those are probably the most important things in anyone’s life. I don’t chase illusions, I chase dreams.
I know there is still a lot about myself that I need to figure out as I strive to become successful in life. I’m certain I will get there because I know I am not a quitter, and I will give my all till the very end to see myself at the top.
I aspire to be a boss someday, having people work under me just as I’ve worked under great people. This is one of my biggest dreams professionally, and one I do not take lightly. Everyone knows the road ahead is not as easy as it looks, but with God Almighty, my family, and shared passion friends, there is no stopping me.
