LTC has broken above $90 again after the drop to $67 on March 12 raised network-wide bearish concerns. With Litcoin miners stacking their bags again. Is the coast clear for LTC to flip $100?

Litecoin miners entered a sell-off frenzy in late March amid bearish concerns and rising costs. On-chain data reveals that they have replenished their reserves in the past week. Similarly, a cohort of whales has started buying. With LTC now back above $90, how much more do the bulls have in the tank?

Litecoin Miners Are Stacking Up

According to on-chain data compiled by IntoTheBlock, Litecoin miners have added more coins to their reserves following a sell-off frenzy in March. The chart below shows how the miners increased their LTC holdings from 4.37 million to 4.47 million between March 25 and April 3.

The additional 100,000 LTC coins the miners have accumulated are worth approximately $9.3 million. When miners accumulate block rewards, it reduces the supply of new coins hitting the market. This can inspire other investors to become bullish about the future price prospects of LTC.

Similarly, on-chain data from Santiment shows that a strategic cohort of Litecoin whales have been in an accumulation frenzy in the past month.

As shown below, the whales holding between 1 million to 10 million LTC have added 890,000 coins worth approximately $82 million to their balances between March 19 and April 4.

An increase in the balances of whale wallets indicates growing interest from institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals.

In summary, considering the buying power they wield, a coordinated accumulation trend among whales and Litecoin miners can trigger a prolonged rally.

LTC Price Prediction: $100 is Within Reach

Going by IntoTheBlock’s Global In/Out of the Money Chart, LTC will likely cross the $100 milestone in the coming weeks.

As shown below, LTC faces a minimal resistance of 7,000 addresses holding 34,000 coins around the $96 mark. But if it can scale that zone, it could rally toward $110, where the next significant resistance lies. There, profit-taking from the cluster of 898,000 addresses holding 4.6 million coins could inadvertently derail the rally.

Yet, the bears can seize the narrative if LTC fails to hold its current support around $88. However, the army of 646 million addresses holding 9.4 million coins here can help shore up the price.

But if that support zone fails to hold, LTC may again drop below $80, the minimum price that another 450,000 had paid for 6.59 million coins.

Dogecoin rose to its highest point in over a week, as Elon Musk requested that a lawsuit filed against him by investors in the meme coin be dropped. The suit claims that Musk operated a pyramid scheme, following his endorsements of dogecoin. Litecoin was another token to climb on Saturday.

Dogecoin (DOGE)

Dogecoin (DOGE) climbed higher on Saturday after lawyers for Elon Musk requested that a lawsuit filed against him by investors in the meme coin be dropped.

In a statement, Musk’s lawyers said, “There is nothing unlawful about tweeting words of support for, or funny pictures about, a legitimate cryptocurrency that continues to hold a market cap of nearly $10 billion.”

Following a low of $0.07456 on Friday, DOGE/USD rose to a peak of $0.07841 to start the weekend.

This came as the relative strength index (RSI) also briefly moved beyond a resistance of its own at 52.00

At the time of writing this, the index is now tracking at 51.99, with earlier gains in DOGE mostly easing.

Litecoin (LTC)

Litecoin (LTC) was another notable gainer to start the weekend, as the token also neared a one-week high.

LTC/USD surged to an intraday high of $93.85, less than 24 hours after prices were trading at a low of $88.34.

This rally sent litecoin to its strongest point since last Sunday, March 26, when it rose to a peak at $94.92.

LTC/USD – Daily Chart

Looking at the chart, today’s gain pushed LTC close to a point of resistance at $94.00, however, bulls have so far been unable to force a breakout.

This is likely due to the 14-day RSI hovering close to a ceiling of its own, at the 57.00 mark.

Should bulls move beyond this point, then there is a good chance that LTC will move beyond $94.00.
