Since June, Litecoin has traded within a range (yellow) from $64.7 to $43.6. The mid-point of this range sat at $54. Since mid-September, Litecoin has consolidated around this level. In the past week, it was able to flip the mid-range value to support.

During this time, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) was able to climb above neutral 50 as well. The bullish momentum indicator came hand-in-hand with an uptick in trading volume in the past few days.

The band of resistance near the range highs at $64 was a bearish order block from early September. The breakout past the range showed that a retest of the same band of resistance would likely see a bullish reaction.
