LTC Price Analysis: Price Eyes $140 as Bullish Channel Holds

LTC is trading within a well-defined ascending parallel channel, with price currently testing the upper boundary near $124. The altcoin trades well above the 20-day and 50-day EMAs, at $102 and $109, respectively.

Bollinger Bands show LTC is riding the upper band, indicative of upward volatility with little resistance in sight, while the MACD remains in bullish territory with widening histograms. It’s clear with CMF at 0.09 that LTC accumulation is on the rise.

If momentum sustains, a clean breakout above the $125 resistance could send Litecoin toward the next major target at $140, in line with the upper channel extension. 

On the downside, strong support lies at $111 and $102, key EMAs that previously acted as resistance. With Polymarket data showing an 81% probability of an LTC ETF approval in 2025, the altcoin is positioned as one of the best crypto to buy in 2025.
