Litecoin Soars Above $110 As LTC Breaks Out Of Macro Downtrend: Analysts

Litecoin (LTC) has shown a notable performance in the first quarter of the year, reaching over 30 million transactions by March 30. Last year, this feat was achieved around July when LTC traded at around $113. The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) recently classified Litecoin as a commodity alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum. The designation and rumors of a Litecoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) sparked bullish sentiment. Analysts and investors have forecasted a strong performance for the token.

LTC closed the month above these levels. The token’s price soared past $110 for the second time this year. Nonetheless, the price didn’t hold for long, as it immediately faced a correction and dropped back to the $105-106 range. After the correction, analyst The Cryptonomist suggested in an X post that if LTC’s price gets a “clean break” above this level, investors could “comfortably see” the price surge to $200. Moreover, crypto investor Crypto Surf pointed out that Litecoin “managed to close at or slightly above the 200-week,” considering it a “not bad” performance. In the charts, Crypto Surf highlights key points from the token’s performance from 2017-2021 and 2021-2024. $LTC did actually manage to close at or slightly above the 200 week MA 😅 Let's see what these new quarter, month and week bring us⌛️ For now, we're above the meme lines, so not bad. https://t.co/xqTDWet7tv pic.twitter.com/GT3asJBQF2 — Surf (@_CryptoSurf) April 1, 2024 The $146 pre-halving top of Litecoin’s second halving event was surpassed approximately three months after breaking out of its 200-week moving average (MA). This breakout was followed by LTC’s all-time high (ATH) of $410 in 2021. After Litecoin’s third halving event, LTC’s pre-halving top reached the $115 price range. This top was tested and almost matched today when the token traded at $112. The charts suggest that, if history repeats itself, LTC’s price could be testing higher resistance levels and a new ATH in the coming months. However, market dynamics and external events could hinder the token’s potential targets. Was LTC’s Rise To $112 An April’s Fool Day Prank? After briefly reaching its highest price of the year, LTC faced a correction that shredded the gains registered over the weekend. The token closed its March monthly candle above important metrics and has resisted above $100 during the past three days. Despite this, the price dipped below that important support zone. LTC has hovered around the $98-99 price range for the past hour. This drop represents a 3.8% decrease from LTC’s price 24 hours ago and a 76.4% dip from its ATH. However, Litecoin’s LTC continues to register green numbers over longer timeframes. LTC has increased 8.8% and 8.9% in the weekly and monthly timeframes. More notably, the token had a 19.9% biweekly surge. Similarly, its daily trading volume has significantly surged by 186.5%, reaching $1.61 billion in the past 24 hours. LTC ranks as the 19th largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, according to CoinMarketCap data. At the time of writing, Litecoin is trading at $99.13.
