Litecoin Sets Eye On $107, But It Needs To Cross This Major Hurdle

Despite a fall in demand, buyers still overpowered sellers at press time. LTC has managed to bounce back from the $95 price level, which has propelled the coin to move higher. It remains to be seen if the altcoin will break past a significant price barrier of $100.
A move above that level will cause LTC to rally further. Broader market strength remains crucial for Litecoin as a fall in demand can again bring the altcoin down to $95. It has to keep trading above its steady support line of $95. The market capitalization of Litecoin noted a decline, which suggested that there has been a dip in demand.
