Furthermore, the RSI (Relative Strength Index) is still at 62, with room to rally into the overbought zone of 70. Thus, a decisive breakout above the $140 resistance zone, supported by strong volume, could open the door for a move toward $200.

Litecoin ETF Approval Drives Investor Optimism
The recent surge in LTC price comes as investor optimism around the approval of the Litecoin ETF has been growing. Several major asset managers, including Grayscale, CoinShares, and Canary Capital, have filed or updated their spot Litecoin ETF applications with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Market attention has particularly focused on Canary Capital, whose recent amendments to its filing have sparked speculation that its proposal may be progressing toward approval.
Data from decentralized prediction platform Polymarket shows a sharp rise in market expectations for approval this year, with odds jumping from 66% in July to 95% at the time of writing.

Analysts suggest that approval of a spot Litecoin ETF could mark a pivotal moment for the altcoin. This could attract institutional capital inflows and allow traditional investors to gain exposure to LTC without direct custody.
