The LTC/USD pair faced a strong selling interest near the $80.00 resistance and recently started a downward move.
Looking at the 4-hour chart, LTC price topped near the $81.50 level and later declined sharply. There was a break below the $78.00 and $76.00 support levels to push the price back in a bearish zone.
During the decline, the price traded below the $74.80 support and a connecting bullish trend line. Moreover, there was a close below the $75.40 support and the 100 simple moving average (4-hour).
