- Litecoin price was trading above $90 on Sunday, with LTC reaching a high of $91.60.
- While the price has been rejected twice above $100, this area remains a prime target for the bulls as bitcoin retests the $30k level.
- Fresh momentum from the August halving of Litecoin could propel the price of LTC to its all-time high if it breaks above the hurdle.
Litecoin (LTC) The bulls are trading near the $90 level after struggling to regain some control after a sharp selloff at the $84 low last week. The weakness in LTC price came after another decline in March, which saw the price reject its year-to-date high of $106 in February.
The decline occurred at a key horizontal resistance zone in the $100 area, which has remained a major hurdle as Litecoin enters the last few months before the August halving.
Litecoin Price: Are the Bulls Taking Control?
LTC price rejection at $100 over the past weeks means a double top pattern has appeared, indicating bearish strength and highlighting the possibility of a continuation to the downside. As it happened, LTC price broke below a rising trendline support after peaking at $103 on April 18, and a few days later, LTC/USD saw a significant decline to a low of $84.
But despite shedding previous gains, LTC is currently trying to hold the $90 area after a significant daily close above it. Bulls will need to confirm that they are in control by pushing higher even if a potential ascending channel appears on the daily chart.

If the expected halving rally starts amid a rally in the broader market, the two main targets above $100 would be around $180 and then $300. The all-time high for LTC in May 2021 is around $410.
On the flipside, a bearish reversal could see the $65 long-term resistance-support area in play. Beneath that, the main buffer for Litecoin price remains the multi-year base around $40.
