Litecoin is currently trading near $78, having pulled back from its recent high of $84. At first glance, it might seem like just another typical cooldown after a short rally—but there’s more going on beneath the surface.
The chart shows Litecoin has been forming higher lows since the start of April — always a good sign. Yes, it’s sitting in what looks like a descending triangle, which usually signals bearishness. But sometimes, these patterns fake people out, especially when whales are quietly buying in and retail traders are on edge.
Support between $76 and $78 has held firm multiple times. If Litecoin breaks out above $82 or $84 with strong volume behind it, things could get moving fast. That’s the level where short sellers might start covering and momentum traders jump in. A move toward $90 wouldn’t take much after that.
The volume is telling its own story. During the recent dip, trading volume actually went up to $421.24 million, surging 15%, and that usually means buyers are stepping in, not selling off. If volume rises again on a breakout, it’ll confirm that demand is building.
And don’t forget the timing. April’s second half has historically been solid for crypto. Tax selling is done, Q1 earnings from traditional markets wrap up, and institutions often look to rebalance. Litecoin, with its smaller market cap of $5.6 billion, tends to respond quickly when the market turns bullish.
Can it hit $100 by April 30? That’s about a 26% jump from here — definitely possible if Bitcoin rallies, meme coin money rotates into safer assets, or some Litecoin-specific news hits. But it needs to happen soon.
The two levels to watch right now are $76 on the downside and $82 on the upside. Whichever breaks first could decide where Litecoin ends this month — stuck in the 70s or sprinting toward 100.
