Litecoin price has once again rallied 3% today, reclaiming above the $100 resistance, while extending its weekly gains to over 10%.

Litecoin Price Jumps with Strong Trading Volume

With the Canary Litecoin ETF going live today, LTC price has bounced back above $100. As said, the daily trading volume for LTC has surged by 70% to $1.1 billion, marking strong bullish sentiment among traders. The Litecoin Foundation noted that crypto addresses with more than 100 LTC have been systematically buying over the past, with a minimum balance of $10,000 and more.

The Litecoin Foundation has revealed that wallets holding 100 LTC or more now account for 67% of the total Litecoin supply. According to the organization, this reflects a steady accumulation trend among long-term holders. As shown by the chart below, there are a total of 68 million such addresses.

“Any Litecoin address with 100 LTC or more is part of this number,” the Foundation stated. The data underscores growing consolidation among committed investors as Litecoin’s supply distribution continues to tighten. This could further serve as a catalyst for the Litecoin price rally.

On the other hand, the odds of a spot Litecoin ETF have surged to 99%, as per the Polymarket data. Note that the odds have surged from 62% on October 25, to now as 99%, showing the resurgence of a strong bullish sentiment.

According to CryptoBull360, such a move would likely signal bullish continuation toward the $300 mark over the longer term. Another crypto analyst CryptoBullet noted that the Litecoin price chart forms a similar trajectory to the ZEC price upside.
