Litecoin Targets $100 as Bullish Patterns Emerge

Over the past two months, Litecoin’s daily chart has shown a huge price swing from $113 to $74.5 levels, but only extending sideways. While this consolidation showcases a lack of indication from buyers to sellers, the asset has managed to hold its value above $74.5.

The coin price has rebounded from the aforementioned support three times during the recent consolidation trend, indicating that buyers have not given up on this asset. A recent reversal from $74.5 has uplifted the asset by 9% to currently trade at $81.5.

Recent data from Santiment, highlighted by trader Kamikaze, reveals intriguing insights into Litecoin (LTC) market dynamics. Despite a decline in Bitcoin’s price, substantial accumulation by whale investors suggests a potential long-term bullish sentiment among key holders.

Between April 28th and May 4th, whales added an additional 100,000 LTC to their holdings. This counter-trend behavior, as depicted in the accompanying chart, indicates a possible shift in sentiment among major holders, potentially signaling a positive outlook for Litecoin in the future.

If the bullish momentum persists, the LTC price could gain another 8.6% and develop a bullish reversal pattern called a double-bottom. A breakout above the $88.6 neckline which is also the last swing high will signal an initial signal of trend reversal.

A post-breakout rally could push the LTC price to a potential target of $100, followed by $112.

Technical Indicator:

• Exponential Moving Average: A potential bearish crossover between the 20-and-100-day EMA may accelerate the selling momentum and extend current consolidation.
• Relative Strength Index: The daily RSI wavering at 44% indicates a neutral to bearish sentiment in the market.
