Litecoin Defies Market Pressure as It Holds Key $87.50 Support Level

Litecoin (LTC) is showing signs of strength in the face of a shaky global economy. The cryptocurrency held firm at the $87.50 level through multiple tests, defending a price floor that traders now see as critical, according to CoinDesk Research's technical analysis data model.

This comes as markets respond to ongoing trade tensions and monetary policy uncertainty from major central banks.
