After Months of Consolidation, Litecoin (LTC) Breaks Through Resistance Levels to Start a New Rally

With optimism swelling around potential U.S. ETF approvals and stronger technical signals, analysts call for a sustained Litecoin rally in the weeks ahead.

Litecoin (LTC) has been making headlines as it breaks through a key resistance zone after months of consolidation and a stubborn downtrend. With optimism brimming over potential U.S. ETF approvals and stronger technical signals, analysts are now calling for a sustained Litecoin rally in the weeks ahead.

At the time of writing, the Litecoin price is up 0.17% for the day, trading around $88.44. The question is whether this marks the start of a larger breakout and if Litecoin can soon reclaim triple-digit territory.

ETF Approval Odds Light a Fire Under Litecoin

One of the biggest drivers of excitement for Litecoin (LTC) is the growing expectation of Litecoin ETF approval in the U.S. In a tweet by crypto influencer and trader Ak47, Bloomberg Intelligence has pegged Litecoin’s chances of ETF approval at 90%, the highest bracket alongside Solana (SOL).

These estimates from Bloomberg closely follow the U.S. SEC’s activity in approving futures ETFs for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) earlier this year. However, the regulator has yet to approve any altcoin spot ETFs, despite months of anticipation.

Now, as the SEC faces a critical decision on applications for Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs by major institutions like BlackRock (NYSE:BLK), the oddsmakers are tipping a potential approval for altcoins.

If approved, these ETFs would open the door for institutional investors to gain regulated and standardized exposure to crypto assets through traditional brokerage platforms. This influx of capital could drastically alter the market dynamics and propel cryptocurrencies into a new stage of adoption.

LTC Technical Analysis

The technical picture for Litecoin is equally compelling. According to a recent tweet by analyst @CW8990, LTC has “broken the downtrend line” that has capped its price action for several months. The analyst’s chart shows a clear breakout from a descending wedge pattern—a classic reversal signal.

This breakout is significant because it shifts market sentiment from bearish to bullish. Traders and investors often view such technical moves as the start of new uptrends, especially when backed by substantial volume and other confirming indicators.

Moreover, the daily LTC/USD price chart analysis provides additional insight. Litecoin Bollinger Bands (20,2) are tightening, typically indicating that a large price move is imminent. The Bollinger upper band is currently set at approximately $91.22, with minor resistance at $91.54. In the meantime, the 100-day moving average is now near $99.39, a key level to watch for as a medium-term target.

What’s Next for Litecoin Price?

The near-term direction of Litecoin hangs in the balance of several key price levels. The first resistance levels are between $91 and $92, where the upper Bollinger band and some minor resistance levels are located. If the price of Litecoin breaks and closes above this zone, it can move up to the $99–$100 area, which is the 100-day moving average.

Therefore, if the altcoin extends past the $100 mark, the potential targets could be $110 and $120, where previous highs and resistance levels lie. On the downside, there is increasingly strong support at around $83–$85 near the 50-day SMA, with further support at $75 should bearish pressure be reasserted.
