Litecoin price analysis continues to show bearish signs, as the token slipped up after gaining upward momentum during the day’s trade. LTC gained more than 2 percent from yesterday to move as high as $116.6 but lost momentum by the close of trade as sellers came into the market. The current trend price sits at $108.75 and represents a fragile market for Litecoin, where sellers are supposedly taking profits at every minor opportunity.
