Litecoin dips below $70 as geopolitical tensions throttle crypto momentum at Crypto Trading News & Insights: Stay Ahead of the Game.

]]>
  • Litecoin price fell below $70, trading to lows seen in April 2025.
  • Declines follow a broader cryptocurrency market downturn amid geopolitical tensions.
  • Bitcoin and Ethereum dropped to key support levels.

    • Litecoin (LTC) price has turned negative amid mounting downward pressure, with a slight dip in the past 24 hours pushing LTC below the critical $70 mark.

    Seller dominance has the altcoin trading nearly 10% down over the past week.

    This comes amid escalating geopolitical tensions fueled by uncertainties surrounding Greenland and the United States’ interest in the Arctic territory currently under Denmark.

    It’s this dampening risk appetite across digital assets that has Litecoin at risk amid a correction to levels seen in April last year.

    Litecoin fails to hold $70 support

    Litecoin’s price action turned bearish after hitting a high of $84 on January 6, 2026.

    A series of lower highs and lows led to today’s breach of the psychologically vital $70 support level.

    It’s the first time in nearly a year, with market data showing LTC dipped to a low of $68.45 during early US trading hours on Jan. 20.

    Daily volume, however, shrank 45% to about $413 million, indicating a potential thaw in heavy selling.

    Interestingly, the $70 level coincides with a long-term downtrend line from early 2020.

    The weekly chart also shows that the 50-week exponential moving average (EMA) is about to cross below the 200-week EMA.

    A 50‑week EMA crossing below the 200‑week EMA is generally interpreted as a long‑term bearish signal.

    In technical analysis, this is a “death cross,” and often suggests downside or weak performance, in this case, it suggests the recent trend has weakened.

    The weekly RSI is downsloping but not yet in oversold territory, but last time it touched the threshold, the LTC price hit lows of $46.

    On-chain metrics also reveal a surge in long-position liquidations.

    According to Coinglass data, Litecoin has seen close to $800,000 in 24 hour liquidations. Meanwhile, open interest at $564 million points to potential exacerbation of the slide.

    The areas around $62 and $51 offer the next support zones.

    Bitcoin, Ethereum fall to key levels

    Global stocks fell on Tuesday, and mirroring the move is Bitcoin (BTC), which extended its correction amid the geopolitical tensions related to Greenland.

    BTC has fallen to near $90,000, with buyers unable to reclaim key levels despite bullish corporate signals. Strategy’s announcement of acquiring 22,305 BTC for $2.13 billion, at an average of $95,284 per coin, did not lift buyers.

    Among top altcoins, Ethereum (ETH) has shed over 5% in the past 24 hours to hover near $3,000.

    XRP has again failed to rally amid a recent spike and slipped to $1.92 as cryptocurrencies struggled.

    Geopolitical risks may see these coins tumble further.

    • Litecoin traded to lows of $75 as top altcoins slipped in early US trading.
    • Bitcoin and Ethereum also slid before picking up slight gains.
    • US Department of Justice has opened a criminal probe against Jerome Powell.

      • Litecoin price slipped more than 5% as the cryptocurrency markets experienced a synchronised downturn on Monday, with stocks also down amid concerns over the independence of the US Federal Reserve.

      The price of Litecoin reached $75 but with BTC eyeing gains, could LTC jump towards $100?

      Litecoin to mirror top coins?

      Downside action across the crypto market followed a fresh dump for Bitcoin.

      Bitcoin hovered near the $90,000 level in the early US trading session on Monday, having pared gains from above $92,000.

      However, the token traded at around $92,135 at the time of writing, while Ethereum lingered close to $3,134.

      Both Bitcoin and Ethereum were showing resilience as markets weathered bearish pressure.

      While the two remain near respective psychological thresholds, reclaiming upside momentum may be key to Litecoin gains.

      LTC traded at around $77 at the time of writing.

      But as the chart below shows, the path lower appears stronger for the altcoin.

      Crypto slid amid Fed subpoenas

      Notably, buyers saw prices dip as markets reacted to news that the Department of Justice (DOJ) had launched a criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.

      Top altcoins like XRP and BNB saw declines, and Litecoin traded to lows of $75, last seen in late December.

      The slide in the leading cryptocurrencies stemmed from risk-off sentiment triggered by the news of a DOJ probe against Fed chair Jerome Powell.

      Powell released a statement on Sunday,  revealing subpoenas from the Justice Department.

      Although the news saw Bitcoin flip to above $92k, declines followed as Wall Street futures dipped.

       

      The DOJ’s subpoenas and criminal probe against Powell have intensified fears of political interference in US monetary policy.

      Powell emphasised that the investigation appeared motivated by the Fed’s resistance to demands for aggressive interest rate cuts, rather than solely the renovation-related testimony.

      “While the Fed needs reform, including maintaining the crucial issue of central bank independence while strengthening accountability, a mishandled process risks derailing appointments and undermining further policy effectiveness,” Mohamed El-Erian said on X.

      This uncertainty has US stocks pulling back from recent record highs.

      On Monday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average sank 0.8%, while the S&P 500 shed 0.3%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite was down around 0.2%.

      The pullback reflects broader risk aversion, with investors rotating toward perceived safe havens like gold. Gold prices indeed extended gains on Jan 12. amid the turmoil.

        Litecoin price prediction: can LTC reclaim $140 amid latest bounce? at Crypto Trading News & Insights: Stay Ahead of the Game.

        ]]>
      • Litecoin’s latest bounce has the LTC price above $110.
      • Analysts project an uptick to $140-$150 targets if momentum sustains.
      • Litecoin’s performance aligns with major altcoins like Ethereum and Solana.

        • Litecoin (LTC) price has climbed above $110 in the past 24 hours as investors eye a potential bounce toward $140.

        This comes as market sentiment and technical indicators signal bullish strength for altcoins.

        Litecoin price bounces above $110

        Litecoin climbed past the $110 threshold on Friday, trading near $113 as of September 5, 2025.

        The move reflects a 1.8% gain in the past 24 hours and leaves the token nearly 4% higher over the week, even as the broader cryptocurrency market has struggled.

        The uptick comes at a time when other major altcoins, including Ethereum and Solana, have seen declines tied to profit-taking.

        Holding above the $110 level is viewed as an encouraging sign for Litecoin bulls, who see the milestone as a potential base for further momentum.

        Combining growing optimism around potential Litecoin spot ETF approvals, with Bloomberg analysts estimating a 90% chance of a SEC greenlight, and institutional interest in treasury bets, sees Litecoin trend as one of the coins to watch.

        LTC price – what’s the forecast?

        The last time LTC price hovered at key levels above $110 was when bulls rallied to highs of $132 in mid-August.

        Gains in the past 24 hours aligned with Bitcoin’s flip to $112k after teasing support around $109k.

        Bitcoin is holding near key levels amid expectations of a fourth-quarter rebound, and Litecoin may track its trajectory toward recent highs above $170.

        Broader sentiment, however, remains cautious given ongoing macroeconomic concerns, including the risk of a slowdown in the US economy.

        The upcoming US jobs report on Friday is expected to play a significant role in shaping near-term moves for Litecoin and the wider crypto market.

        Also, technical and on-chain metrics paint an optimistic picture for Litecoin.

        In particular, keeping $110 as a support could help push bulls into decisive action.

        On the daily chart, LTC exhibits bullish signals, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 48, but indicating a potential reversal.

        Although sellers have pushed LTC below the middle line of a rising channel, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) hints at a bullish crossover.

        Litecoin chart by TradingView

        What are the key levels?

        Analysts highlight $110 as a key support level; holding above this could pave the way for a push toward $140, while a drop below might see LTC test $102 and then $94.

        On-chain data support the bullish outlook, with nearly half of LTC’s supply held by large investors and long-term holders, indicating confidence in its long-term value.

        However, recent spikes in exchange inflows suggest some traders may be preparing to sell near resistance levels, which could introduce volatility.

        Large transaction volumes, which peaked at 4.93k when LTC neared $140 in January 2025, have since declined to 3.43k, reflecting consolidation.

        A breakout above $137, where liquidity clusters exist, could trigger a short squeeze, potentially pushing LTC toward $145-$150.

          ]]>
        • Litecoin trades near $112, just in the green on the day but at risk of fresh losses.
        • The LTC price hovers at key support level as bulls attempt to hold bears off.
        • Bullish crypto market and catalysts such as spot Litecoin exchange-traded funds could help LTC go higher.

          • Litecoin (LTC) is trading at $112, about 2% up in the last 24 hours, but in the red over the past week and month time frames.

          Meanwhile, the 24-hour trading volume of $694 million is more than 22% down on the previous day as top altcoins look to bounce.

          As LTC price drops towards the $110 level, can bulls hold onto gains or is the altcoin poised for a revisit of the psychological $100 mark and lower?

          Litecoin price forecast: Is LTC set for a revisit of $90 next?

          Litecoin price has broken below the middle line of an ascending channel pattern. Price at $112 suggests a broader crypto pullback could accelerate LTC’s dip to support at $100 and possibly to $90.

          The technical indicators on the daily chart support a likely flip lower, with RSI and MACD giving sellers the upper hand.

          Litecoin Price
          Litecoin chart by TradingView

          Open Interest has also dropped slightly, down to $994 million from the record highs of $1.27 billion hit recently as LTC spiked.  OI in Litecoin futures does notably remain higher than the lows of $800 million seen in early August.

          A break above $120 could thus allow bulls to test the upper channel barrier near $140 and aim for the psychological $200 mark.

          While the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator shows a bearish crossover from mid-August and prints red histogram bars, a mixed setup has other indicators signaling potential resilience.

          For instance, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart sits at 46, but is upsloping to suggest buyers could keep off a fresh dip towards the oversold territory.

          If RSI pops above the neutral point of 50 and market conditions align, LTC could see the above scenario play out.

          What could help Litecoin price higher?

          Network growth, including a significant hashrate spike, suggests confidence in the proof-of-work coin.

          This and market sentiment point to a scenario where bulls ride the overall crypto uptick in the coming months to drive higher.

          The upcoming approval of spot ETFs, with Litecoin among those with notable high odds of a nod, add to this outlook.

          In this case, the SEC’s October 2025 decisions on spot Litecoin ETFs from Grayscale, Bitwise, and CoinShares, which carry a 90% approval probability, per Bloomberg analysts, could be huge catalysts.

          Experts say a SEC approval for LTC spot ETFs could drive institutional inflows of up to $500 million in Litecoin at launch, printing the trajectory that saw Bitcoin’s price rally to new highs in early 2024.

          • The LTC price could rally to $200 and target a new all-time.
          • Bullish catalysts include spot ETF anticipation, payments activity/adoption and treasury strategy moves.

            • Litecoin trades as one of the top gainers in the past 24 hours, with the altcoin boasting a 12% spike as price hovers near $126. Gains see weekly uptick extended and LTC up by more than 47% in the past month.

            Amid a confluence of bullish catalysts, can Litecoin price jump to its year-to-date highs near $140 and target multi-year peaks above $200?

            Litecoin jumps 12% amid notable bullish momentum

            Litecoin’s double-digit uptick, which pushed price from lows of $111 to above $127 at the time of writing, comes as the broader crypto market seeks a fresh leg up.

            On Tuesday, Aug. 5, the total market cap was up 1% to $3.74 trillion, with this following Monday’s resilient performance across stocks and crypto. Most top altcoins including Ethereum, XRP and Solana are in the green, with latest regulatory developments adding to the prevailing crypto sentiment to suggest more gains are likely in the short term.

            For LTC, the outlook gets a further bullish impetus from a range of factors. It includes overall anticipation of a spot Litecoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) approval, increased use as a payment currency and significant institutional interest amid treasury strategy moves.

            Recently, Bloomberg analysts put a 95% probability on a spot LTC ETF approval in 2025, and regulatory developments suggest this outlook remains.

            Meanwhile, bullish projections for Litecoin are gaining traction amid institutional interest, with MEI Pharma’s $100 million Litecoin treasury strategy a major corporate allocation already. Also fueling price gains is Litecoin’s growing use in remittances and payments.

            What next for LTC price?

            Litecoin’s price gains may see profit taking kick in and derail buyers, particularly given the surge to a five month high for LTC.

            LTC chart by TradingView

            However, the altcoin has broken above a symmetrical triangle on the weekly chart, signaling potential upside continuation. This breakout above the triangle’s upper resistance means bulls may want to target the supply wall around $200.

            Notably, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) has a bullish crossover, aiding the outlook for upward momentum. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) also ticks above 64, indicating room for more gains before hitting overbought conditions.

            If buying pressure continues, bulls may eye $200 and higher in the short term. However, if it fades, a short-term pullback to the $110–$101 support zone may ensue. This LTC price outlook nonetheless depends on overall bullish conditions.

              Litecoin price forecast: tracking LTC’s bullish technical setup at Crypto Trading News & Insights: Stay Ahead of the Game.

              ]]>
            • Litecoin is forming bullish flag and pennant patterns, signalling a bullish breakout.
            • Price targets range from $108 to $153 after the imminent breakout.
            • Large holders and strong volume back the projected LTC’s upward momentum.

              • Litecoin (LTC) is once again in the spotlight as bullish technical formations point to the potential for significant upside movement.

              The cryptocurrency is currently navigating a critical phase, marked by a series of strong technical patterns and robust on-chain data that suggest an optimistic outlook.

              LTC price technical analysis

              At the time of writing, Litecoin trades around $97.45, maintaining stability while exhibiting subtle signs of bullish momentum.

              Technical analysis identifies a bull flag pattern forming near this price range, signalling a potential continuation of Litecoin’s upward trajectory.

              A bull flag is a well-known technical continuation signal that appears after a strong price rally, followed by a brief consolidation phase within a downward-sloping channel.

              LTC’s flag formation around the $95 level reflects a healthy cooldown, which is often necessary before a breakout occurs.

              Volume during this consolidation has been declining, which aligns with typical bull flag behaviour and suggests a stronger breakout may soon follow.

              Analyst CW8900 projects that if this flag resolves to the upside, Litecoin could aim for a price target of $136, indicating nearly a 40% rally from current levels.

              Adding weight to the bullish outlook is Litecoin’s performance on the 4-day chart, which shows the asset breaking free from earlier range-bound movement and forming a clear ascending trend.

              The new support zone between $96 and $97 has been holding firm, helping to establish a base for a potential leg higher in the coming weeks.

              Key resistance levels are now projected at $108.71, $132.24, and $153.11, all of which mark important milestones in Litecoin’s recovery journey.

              Complementing the bull flag is another powerful setup: a bullish pennant forming on the daily chart, suggesting the market remains optimistic.

              This pennant pattern emerges after a rapid price rise, followed by price action tightening within converging trendlines, typically preceding a breakout continuation.

              Litecoin price prediction

              Both the bull flag and the pennant point to similar targets between $120 and $130, reinforcing the potential for Litecoin to break past its current resistance.

              Supporting this technical strength is bullish on-chain data, which reveals that nearly half of the LTC supply is held by large investors and long-term holders.

              More than 75% of Litecoin holders have maintained their positions for at least eighteen months, underscoring a foundation of confidence and reducing the likelihood of panic selling.

              Additionally, over $58 billion in large trades occurred within seven days, highlighting increased market participation and strong liquidity.

              These data points suggest that institutional involvement is quietly reinforcing the bullish case for Litecoin’s next breakout.

              Historical context also supports this optimism, as Litecoin previously reached $140.17 in January 2025, before retracing to current levels.

              Market sentiment remains positive, with the Fear & Greed Index at 74, reflecting strong investor confidence amid broader altcoin strength.

              Meanwhile, analysts like VipRoseTr have identified a falling wedge breakout that occurred in mid-May at around $78.80, which often marks the end of a downtrend.

              Since then, Litecoin has climbed steadily and now sits just beneath the $90–$100 resistance range, a zone viewed as pivotal for triggering the next major move.

              Forecasts for 2025 diverge widely, with some platforms projecting a modest rise to $112 while others see potential for a rally beyond $210.

              Despite this uncertainty, the combination of bullish patterns, increasing volume, and favourable holder behaviour suggests Litecoin may be gearing up for a powerful breakout.

              Ultimately, Litecoin’s technical and fundamental indicators align in a way that suggests a strong possibility of sustained upward movement.

              If key resistance zones are breached, Litecoin may soon transition from consolidation to acceleration, making it one of the altcoins to watch in 2025.
