On the daily chart, Litecoin (LTC) could not fix above the level at $185 supported by decreasing trading volumes. At the moment, neither bulls nor bears are dominating, which means that traders are accumulating power for the future price blast. If buyers can break the resistance, one might expect long-term growth to the next zone around $239.

Litecoin is trading at $178 at press time.

Cardano (ADA) is following the decline of Litecoin (LTC), falling by 1.65% over the past 24 hours.
