Litecoin

Mirror

The chart for balance by time held for <a href="https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/2024/12/10/ltc-high-on-chain-activity-suggests-litecoin-price-could-hit-180/">Litecoin</a> (LTC) revealed similarities in holder behavior over the years. Litecoin price, depicting 2020 post-election pattern may breach $200 as per analysts. 
Long-term holders (LTH), accounting for 78% of Litecoin addresses, showed a pattern of accumulating during bear markets and capitalizing near peak prices. 
The pattern was visible in the growth and subsequent reductions in the amount held by these long-term investors, particularly around price spikes. 
Recently, the trend showed a slight decrease in long-term holdings, less pronounced than seen in previous cycles. 
This subtler reduction suggested that many holders remained optimistic about further rally.

These holders appeared to anticipate higher future valuations rather than exiting at current levels. 
The ‘Cruisers’ and ‘Traders’ categories showed more volatile changes, correlating closely with Litecoin price fluctuations. This volatility reflected short-term trading behaviors in response to market conditions. 
Despite the market’s ups and downs, the overarching sentiment among the majority of LTC holders was holding out for greater gains, indicating a strong belief in it’s value proposition over the longer term.

Analyzing the price action of LTC/USD pair from 2020 alongside the recent 2024 data revealed intriguing similarities that further supported LTH. 
Both periods started with noticeable volatility before and immediately after the U.S. elections, marked by significant price surges. 
In late 2020, Litecoin’s price rallied from around $60, peaking above the $160 price in early 2021. 
The pattern in Q4 of 2024 showed a similarities with the price rapidly ascending post-election, suggesting potential for further increases. 
Historically, these election-associated rallies have been followed by substantial gains into the new year. If the current pattern holds, Litecoin could potentially breach the $200 mark by early 2025.
