Following the recent downturn in the crypto markets, Litecoin (LTC) has skyrocketed nearly 30%, allowing it to claim the fourth spot by market capitalization ahead of EOS and Bitcoin Cash. Today\u2019s market surge has been fueled by Bitcoin\u2019s<\/a> 8% jump that has sent its price to $3,700.<\/p>\n Although Litecoin is showing a significant amount of bullish momentum, analysts note that it does face resistance at around $43, which may cause it to drop from its current prices.<\/p>\n At the time of writing, Litecoin (LTC) is trading up 30.8% at its current price of $43.3. LTC is currently trading up significantly from its weekly lows of $32 and is down slightly from its daily highs of $43.90.<\/p>\n Importantly, analysts claim that despite Litecoin\u2019s major price surge, it does face resistance around $43, which may prove to be a difficult price level to break decisively through unless the cryptocurrency garners a greater amount of buying pressure.<\/p>\n The Crypto Dog, a popular cryptocurrency analyst on Twitter, noted that he is selling his LTC at $43, and is waiting to see where it goes next before entering into any new long positions.<\/p>\n \u201cBut volume is really quite lacking on this move and a 50% retracement of a falling wedge is already a lot to to [sic] ask for\u2026 For now, I’m not looking for longs until further price action.
