What Lies Ahead For Litecoin?

Traders have started taking not of $LTC’s recent progress which was also visible from the large buy orders yesterday. At least five transactions worth $33 million or above were made in Litecoin. While it is still more than 50% down from the all-time high, crypto bull runs are infamous for skyrocketing token prices double digits and sometimes even triple digits.

Litecoin needs to maintain its level above $200 and try to conquer the key $225 resistance and convert it into on-chain support.
