Rekt added:
“$LTC has a history of performing upside wicks (yellow circles) beyond the historical Accumulation Area (green) only to reject deeper into that demand area. To confirm a new macro uptrend, #LTC needs to stay above $67 after a Monthly Close.”
At the same time, given its bullish momentum, LTC/BTC trade has broken out from a macro downtrend dating back to January 2020.
Can Litecoin reach $100?
Elsewhere, prominent crypto analyst Altcoin Sherpa noted that after flipping the 200-day exponential moving average (EMA), the next level up for LTC would be $100 if it continues its upward momentum.
“$LTC: Levels here on HTF charts. Crazy moves the last few days, who would have thought #Litecoin would have this type of success? 200d EMA flipped but some key levels are here. $100 would be next lvl up if this continues strongly (still not buying here tho)”
