From Mid-May to early June, the crypto market witnessed high volatility and uncertainty among coin traders, causing LTC/USDT pair to consolidate in a narrow range. Thus, the coin price resonated between $75 and $61.2 for nearly four weeks.

However, amid the recent crypto crash, the LTC sellers breached range support($61.2) on June 9th. Later, the four consecutive red candles reflected the intense selling and depreciated the coin price by 34%. As a result, the coin price reached a new 2022 low of $40.

The crypto traders faced demand pressure below this psychological support and tried to ascend earlier this week. However, the buyers struggle to surpass the immediate resistance of $51.5.

Therefore, the LTC price is struck in a no-trading zone, and any new entries are better to wait for the $40 or $51 breakout.
