Highlights:

• Litecoin is trending towards the $200 mark
• Rising FOMO around Litecoin could it rally through $200
• Bullish sentiment around Bitcoin could help drive Litecoin’s momentum

Litecoin is one of the top gainers among the top 100 cryptocurrencies today. In the last 24 hours, Litecoin has gained by 15% to trade at $117.38. This rally has put Litecoin’s market capitalization at $8.8 billion. Trading volumes are also on the rise, up by 389% in the day to hit a high of $3.42 billion. Litecoin’s rally relative to most altcoins comes as a surprise considering that it is one of the older cryptocurrencies that have been relatively quiet over the years.

Nonetheless, it is a pointer to the direction that the market is taking this cycle. Older cryptocurrencies especially those from 2017 are reawakening after the election of Donald Trump. This could be linked to the increased expectations of regulatory clarity in the US, one that is boosting investor confidence in the cryptocurrency market as a whole.

Technical Analysis – Litecoin Price Consolidating But Bullish Momentum Rising

From the charts, Litecoin is experiencing a parabolic price rise. Litecoin broke out on November 23 and has been going up ever since. However, after an impressive rally from $83 to the latest high of $129.88, Litecoin could be experiencing some profit-taking, especially from leveraged long traders.

This is quite evident on the 1-hour chart, which reflects a sustained correction for the better part of the day. If the correction continues in the day, the key level to watch would be the 48-hour support at $106.70.

If this support is not hit, or it is hit and there is a strong bounce off it, the key level to watch would be the day’s high of $129.77. This price level is now a key resistance level, and a rally through it could see Litecoin rally to $200 in the short term. While a continuation of the correction is likely, the odds favor a rally to $200 in the short term. That’s because bulls are already re-establishing control intra-day. It is an indicator that despite the profit-taking, the underlying buying momentum is strong.

Litecoin Following in Bitcoin’s Price Action

The potential for bullish price action is supported by several factors that will only get stronger. One of them is Bitcoin’s price action. Litecoin, like most altcoins, is currently riding on Bitcoin’s price action, and there is a lot to look forward to for Bitcoin. Institutional interest in Bitcoin, and with the potential for the US setting up a Bitcoin reserve is driving a lot of money into Bitcoin.

This means Bitcoin could soon be headed for a rally through $100k as it continues to erase losses from its recent correction. This puts altcoins like Litecoin, which follow Bitcoin’s price action, on a course to more growth in the short term. Already this is evident in hourly price action, where Litecoin is recovering in tandem with Bitcoin.

Real-world Adoption Could Boost Confidence in Litecoin

Litecoin also has the benefit of adoption for real-world transactions. Litecoin is adopted for payments by many organizations globally. This is a big deal, especially as regulatory clarity comes to the US, as it could see altcoins like Litecoin gain even more adoption. This may explain why Litecoin is gaining ground after being a sleeper for so long.

Recap

With all these positive factors around it, Litecoin could be at the beginning of a bull run that could rival the one it had in 2017. In the very short term, Litecoin could be headed for a high of $200. More long term, Litecoin could be headed for a high of $500 or more.
