Levels to Watch to Ride the Bitcoin and Litecoin Bull Market

Bitcoin pulled back after reaching $57,800, potentially entering into a low time-frame ABC correction. The modest retreat saw the coin retrace by 6.8% from the local high to the 0.0236 Fibonacci level.Technically, BTC/USD has not set a lower local low, which leaves the door open for bulls to reclaim the lost ground and continue the trend posthaste.Still, Bitcoin could consolidate further before resuming the trend, which would have the benefit of providing structure to price-action, which has been relatively vertical since the start of October.In the immediate short term, $55,900 is overhead resistance.

But the fact of the matter is that the crypto has withstood the test of time. Unlike virtually all cryptocurrencies besides bitcoin, Litecoin’s ten-year history is firmly in its favour.
