As Bitcoin price BTC $95 254 24h volatility: 0.3% Market cap: $1.89 T Vol. 24h: $24.91 B drops to the $102,600 mark from the recent all-time high of $109,000, the altcoins are witnessing a minor pullback. As a close cousin, Litecoin LTC $123.7 24h volatility: 1.0% Market cap: $9.36 B Vol. 24h: $1.05 B has dropped by 2.76% over the past 24 hours.

Litecoin Aims to Surpass $138 Neckline

Currently, Litecoin trades at a market price of $118, with a lower price rejection. Furthermore, the LTC price trend over the past few weeks projects an inverted head-and-shoulder pattern. This is a widely recognized bullish formation in technical analysis.

The neckline of the bullish pattern coincides with the 61.80% trend-based Fibonacci level at $138. Currently, Litecoin is preparing to form the right shoulder if it sustains to bounce back from the 23.60% Fibonacci level at $111. A successful bounce could confirm the bullish outlook.

Supporting the breakout chances, the crucial EMA lines maintain a positive alignment and give dynamic support. Furthermore, the daily RSI line maintains a positive trend. These indicators reinforce the likelihood of a recovery rally.

LTC Price Targets Extend to $208

In case of a breakout rally, the Fibonacci levels paint a price target at $165 and $208. However, Litecoin must surpass the psychological mark of $150 for an extended rally. Breaking this level is crucial to attracting further momentum.

On the flip side, the crucial support for Litecoin remains at the $100 psychological mark and the 200-day EMA line at $89.92. These levels provide a safety net for traders.

Litecoin’s Large Transaction Volume Doubles in 3 Months

Over the past few months, as Bitcoin started the bullish rally to cross above the $100,000 mark, the Litecoin network has seen a positive impact. As a close cousin, the large transaction volume over the Litecoin network has increased from $4.31 billion to $8.85 billion. This indicates growing investor confidence in the network.

The transaction volume reached a peak of $10.35 billion last weekend, a 100% surge over the past few months. With the growing network, the demand for LTC tokens in the broader market is likely to surge. Higher demand often translates to price appreciation.

Hence, the prices of Litecoin could witness a break above the $150 mark. Such a breakout would pave the way for higher targets.

With Litecoin showing positive on-chain metrics and supportive technical patterns, the cryptocurrency appears primed for a recovery rally. However, breaching the $150 psychological level remains critical to achieving the ambitious target of $208.
