• Litecoin surged by 10.32% on the weekly charts, as analysts eyed a 40% rally.
• Whales transactions over the past seven days hit $17.3 billion.

In the last two weeks, the crypto market has experienced considerable volatility. Despite the fluctuations, Litecoin [LTC] has defied the trend to define its unique path.

Inasmuch, LTC’s price action has left analysts speculating a sustained bull run.

One major factor pushing LTC’s market sentiment is positive whale activities. Over the past three months, LTC has witnessed a sustained surge in large holders, hitting $3.6 billion in large holder transactions on daily charts.

Prevailing market sentiment

Litecoin’s current price movement has left analysts eyeing a major breakout. Analyst Crypto Whales similarly bet big on the altcoin, noting that,

According to his analysis, the altcoin will hit a $94.7 resistance level last witnessed on the 12th of April. However, other analysts such as Crypto Surf are using a historical cycle to make a future case for LTC.

“Based on past cycles, LTC should start its bull run 15 to 19 months after its halving and 6 to 8 months after $BTC halving. So between Oct 2024 and Mar 2025.”
