If bulls are able to keep the price above the key resistance level at $73.00 USD, then possibilities to spike to $80 USD remain plausible. Can bulls push the coin to new yearly highs in the near future?

Currently trading at $76.18, LTC/USD, the coin is on a bearish trend and looks destined to reverse towards the $70 USD key support. However, a cross above $78.00 USD will effectively push up a bullish run towards higher resistance levels at $90, $95 and $100 USD.

Despite the calls to $100, LTC/USD future looks bleak in the coming days.
