Litecoin Trading Activity Increases Over The Past Month – Potential LTC ETF Draws Speculation

Source Newsbtc

Litecoin is on the verge of breaking multi-year highs at the $147 level, defying the overall negative sentiment in the crypto market. While selling pressure and uncertainty have slowed the broader market, LTC has held strong, just below key supply levels. This resilience has fueled optimism among investors, with many anticipating a potential breakout in the coming days.

A crucial factor contributing to Litecoin’s strength is growing speculation around a Litecoin ETF. According to key data from IntoTheBlock, the number of short-term LTC traders has increased by over 12% in the past month. Historically, surges in short-term trading activity have preceded major price movements, indicating that investors are positioning for a potential rally.

With ETF discussions gaining momentum, traders are closely watching Litecoin’s price action. If LTC successfully reclaims $147, it could open the door for a significant breakout. However, failure to push past this resistance could lead to increased volatility. As the crypto market navigates uncertainty, Litecoin remains one of the few assets showing relative strength, keeping investors hopeful for a strong move in the near future.

Litecoin Holds Key Levels As ETF Speculation Grows

Litecoin is trading at crucial liquidity levels after a volatile week, struggling to reclaim momentum following Friday’s market breakdown caused by the Bybit hack, resulting in $1.4 Billion in ETH stolen from the exchange. Just as LTC was preparing to push above multi-year highs, negative sentiment hit the crypto space, leading to a wave of selling pressure across the board. Despite this, analysts remain optimistic, calling for a massive surge in Litecoin once the broader market regains strength. Many believe LTC is positioned to outperform other assets when the market enters its next bullish phase.

Speculation surrounding a Litecoin ETF has added fuel to the growing interest in LTC. According to IntoTheBlock, the number of short-term LTC traders has increased by over 12% in the past month.

This rise in trading activity suggests that traders are closely watching Litecoin, betting on the possibility of an ETF announcement that could drive prices higher. Historically, major ETF approvals have resulted in strong rallies, and investors are speculating that LTC could follow the same pattern.

For now, Litecoin remains in a consolidation phase, with traders looking for confirmation of the next major move. If LTC reclaims key resistance levels and ETF speculation continues to grow, the next breakout could be one of the most significant in recent years.

LTC Testing Key Demand As Market Awaits Breakout

Litecoin is currently trading at $123 after experiencing a sharp 13% drop from local highs set on Friday. The price action reflects broader market uncertainty, but LTC continues to show strength, holding above key support levels. Investors remain optimistic, believing that Litecoin could be one of the top-performing assets once the market trends upward again.

For now, LTC must maintain support above the critical $120 level to sustain its bullish structure. A successful reclaim of the $135 level in the coming days would signal renewed momentum, potentially setting the stage for a breakout into higher price levels. Analysts believe that if Litecoin manages to clear this resistance zone, a strong move toward multi-year highs could follow.

However, if selling pressure increases and LTC loses the $120 support, a deeper retracement into lower demand levels could occur. This scenario would likely extend the consolidation phase, delaying any potential rally. Traders are closely watching Litecoin’s price action for signs of strength, as a bullish breakout could lead to one of the most significant moves for LTC in recent months.
