Litecoin narrow range ready to explode

The Litecoin is trapped within a narrow range, but the formation could be complete soon. The crypto cannot move sideways infinitely, a valid breakout could bring new opportunities. LTC/USD is traded at 144.36 above 141.27 today's low.

As you already know, Bitcoin moves somehow sideways as well. A strong move in BTC/USD also may help Litecoin to develop a strong movement. The bias is bearish, so a further drop is in cards.
