Litecoin (LTC) is showing signs of potential strength as the cryptocurrency consolidates near $87, holding just below key resistance levels.

As of June 16, 2025, LTC is trading at approximately $86.64. Although the asset remains below its long-term moving averages, short-term charts reveal encouraging developments…

Above this, further resistance is expected around the 100-day SMA at $88.33 and the 200-day SMA at $101.69.

Zooming in to the 1-hour chart, Litecoin appears to be stabilizing in a tight band between $86 and $87.50.

Beyond $92, the next technical target would be around $96, aligning with key Fibonacci extension levels.

Despite the signs of bullish pressure, traders should be cautious if LTC fails to breach the $89 resistance zone.

Additionally, the fact that Litecoin remains well below its 200-day SMA around $101 suggests that the broader trend remains bearish until proven otherwise.

In the short term, Litecoin’s technical outlook leans toward neutral-to-bullish. The hourly chart hints at growing momentum, while the daily chart shows potential for a breakout…
