On a weekly timeframe, we can easily observe that Litecoin price trend has formed a W-shaped double bottom pattern formation. The first resistance is located at the $180 area, and it may have a minor retracement here before the LTC price takes off.

If we look at the candlesticks in the weekly chart, we can see that there was a bullish pin bar several weeks ago, and the price continues to rally for several weeks after this candlestick. Paying attention to the closing candle for this week, if it closes around $170 or higher, it would be a very bullish sign for the price to go further as we have predicted above.
