Only a Short Time Left for the Litecoin Halving Event
Markets seem to be preparing for the upcoming Litecoin Halving event, with popular tokens trying to end the week with a bullish close. The value of most cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP is being maintained solidly above recurring support levels, despite the recent downward trend. Therefore, a positive reaction is expected from the markets after the event, and prices are securing intermediate resistance levels.
Meanwhile, the price of Litecoin continues to fluctuate within a predetermined range, without triggering either a bullish movement or a bearish exit. Therefore, the possibility of being less affected by the Halving event increases. Additionally, data from Santiment, a popular on-chain platform, shows that more traders are participating, which could lead to increased buying pressure in the coming days along with the Halving event.
According to the data, 1,185 addresses holding at least 100 LTC have been added, reaching a total of approximately 36.6 thousand wallets. Therefore, the enthusiasm of traders is significantly increasing due to the chance of a bullish breakout from the event. The platform has also recently shared crowd calls reflecting market sentiment. Currently, there are a high number of bullish market calls, which could cause a significant increase in the token’s value. However, there is also fear that prices could drop immediately after this increase.
Interestingly, bear market calls are also increasing, which could drive prices to higher levels in the coming days. Therefore, market conditions are still uncertain as traders’ sentiments are aligned in both directions. Therefore, although there is potential for Litecoin’s price to rise after the Halving event, the likelihood of holding onto gains for a long period of time may be low.
