The average daily volumes of coin trading are set at $ 265 million, which is in line with the long-term average. Litecoin continued to recover on Thursday from the bullish run by altcoin led by XRP.

Litecoin Technical Framework
As is clearly visible on a 4- hour chart, Litecoin's recovery is limited by the SMA200 currently at $ 57.54). The price remains below this line since September 5, while numerous attempts to break it during the previous week have proved useless. If positive feelings on the cryptocurrency markets help push LTC / USD up, the aforementioned $ 59.38 (DMA50) and $ 60.00 will come into focus.
On the negative side, local resistance is created from $ 55.33 (SMA100, 4 hour chart) and $ 54.99 (SMA50). Once this zone is cleared, the sell-off could be extended to the short-term uptrend line at $ 52.00.
