Litecoin [LTC/USD] Technical Analysis: Coin continues to hemorrhage as prices try to find support

Litecoin, the seventh-largest cryptocurrency, has been on a continuous decline for more than a week. The dip has caused the prices of LTC to reach to a point that was last seen in July 2017. The sell-off has caused all major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin [BTC] and Ethereum [ETH] to decline as well. At the time of press, Litecoin was trading at $41.47, with a market cap of $2.48 billion.
