Since the start of the year, Litecoin&#8217;s price has fallen by almost a third of 
its January open, tumbling massively and briefly trading around $45 in early 
February. The prolonged pullback has kept sentiment quiet, but Litecoin’s 
price is now back to stabilizing around $53. A recent technical analysis 
shared on X by crypto analyst Jonathan Carter shows that a triangle support 
defense is currently playing out for Litecoin. Technical analysis of 
Litecoin&#8217;s price chart shows a descending triangle that has been developing 
for several years on the weekly timeframe. Right now, Litecoin is trading 
close to the triangle support, and the reaction at this support will determine 
whether Litecoin could launch to $285. Descending Triangle Support Faces Major 
Test The weekly chart shows Litecoin locked inside a large descending triangle 
structure, with a downward-sloping resistance trendline that has rejected 
rallies since its 2021 peak at $410. Each subsequent rally has printed lower 
highs, and this has led to a long-term compression pattern. Related Reading: 
Litecoin Closes Bullish — $57 Break Could Ignite Next Leg Up Now, the price is 
sitting near the lower border of the formation, around $55-$45. This area is 
important because it has always attracted buyers, and Litecoin has never 
traded below this level since August 2020. Carter noted that Litecoin is 
attempting to bounce from this lower border, with bulls stepping in as trading 
volume begins to increase.If this level continues to hold, it would strengthen 
the case that there is a return to bullish momentum. The Five Major Levels On 
The Path Higher The bullish outlook is that Litecoin is about to keep trending 
upwards after recently bouncing on the support. The most recent weekly 
candlesticks have been a reversal in nature, with a doji candlestick with last 
week&#8217;s candle, which is a reversal candlestick. That formation came after five 
consecutive weekly red closes, and this makes last week’s candle particularly 
notable, as it hints at potential exhaustion from sellers and the early stages 
of a trend change. Related Reading: Why Litecoin Price Going To $2,000 Is Not 
A Fantasy, But Market Cap Math If Litecoin sustains a bounce from the 
triangle’s base, then there is a sequence of important resistance levels that 
could shape the recovery. Carter noted various upside checkpoints in between 
and $285 as the ultimate price target. The first checkpoint sits around $63, a 
price level that acted as a pivot area throughout 2025. Clearing this level on 
a weekly basis would likely change the short-term momentum in favor of buyers. 
Above that, there is another resistance around $85 that could slow the 
advance. The next mid-range targets are $115 and the 2025 swing high around 
$140. A move through these levels would point to a bullish structure where 
Litecoin returns to price levels not seen since the 2021/2022 cycle. In this 
case, the price targets are around $180, and the final and most ambitious 
level on the chart is $285. However, this is still below the long-standing 
Litecoin all-time high of $410 in May 2021. Featured Image from iStock, chart
