On Thursday, 18 April, Bitcoin [BTC]<\/a> bounced to $89.5k before sinking to post a new low of $84.5k. This volatility saw Litecoin\u2019s price [LTC] drop 7.5% in 5 hours, with the altcoin posting a new lower low at $72.64. At the time of writing, it was trading at $75.89.<\/p>\n

Litecoin<\/a> bulls gave up control of a key long-term support zone at $80-$84 over the past two weeks of trading. In fact, a recent AMBCrypto report<\/a> highlighted the importance of this region as a long-term support.<\/p>\n

The same report also pointed out that the bulls had little fighting strength and were barely holding on. LTC\u2019s inclusion<\/a> in Bitwise\u2019s 10 Crypto Index ETF [BITW] gave it no sizeable boost on the price charts either.<\/p>\n

Using the Fixed Range Volume Profile tool for 2025, the Value Area High and Value Area Low were determined to be at $120 and $83. After the first week of October, when LTC had been trading above the year\u2019s VAH, the 10\/10 crash occurred.<\/p>\n

The OBV showed that the buyer-seller equilibrium back then shifted to an almost total seller domination. Litecoin saw volatility in November and appeared to defend the $80-support zone. However, it was too little to stop the downtrend.<\/p>\n

With the loss of the $80-level, $73.4, $66.5, and $59.6 were the next long-term supports that Litecoin bears would target.<\/p>\n

The 1-month lookback period liquidation heatmap showed that the liquidity around $73 was swept. A bounce was in progress. It may be possible that this bounce would reach the magnetic zone at $82-$83.<\/p>\n

The less likely scenario ahead for Litecoin<\/h2>\n

This would be the bullish path. The magnetic zone at $88 is filled with short liquidations and could pull prices towards it. A market-wide sentiment shift and a cascade of short liquidations could see an LTC breakout past $90, reclaiming a bullish trend.<\/p>\n

Traders\u2019 call to action \u2013 Remain bearish!<\/h2>\n

The altcoin has just recently lost a significant support level. Its trend and price structure were bearish, and there was no appreciable buying pressure on the higher timeframes.<\/p>\n

The $80-$84 area, if retested, would be too strong to overcome. Traders can look to short the bounce, targeting the support levels at $66 and $59.<\/p>\n\n
